I really enjoyed Iron Man but there was one bit of plot that puzzled me. Maybe I missed something, so I'm hoping someone might be able to provide me with some insight.

We learn that Al'Qaeda--I'm sorry, what was it, Ten Swords?--was paid to capture Tony Stark. First, is it really a smart idea to go blowing up a convoy and launching indirect fire weapons when you're trying to capture a single individual? So they grab him and then later the boss terrorist is upset because they *didn't* know it was Stark they were supposed to capture and want more compensation. If they didn't know who they were being paid to capture, how did they know who to capture?

During his captivity they expect him to build them one of his new missiles. Yet they're in cahoots with his partner, who apparently then sells them the missiles a little while later. So if they can buy them what would be the point of them making Stark build them?
