Bringing closure to the long-running Salam Pax saga, not only has the Baghdad Blogger turned out to be real, but he is now writing a fortnightly column for the Guardian.
The internet's most famous blogger has not, however, revealed his true identity, or even his surname. "Do not assume, not even for a second, that because you read the blog you know who I am or who my parents are," he writes in his blog.
