Do you know of somene called al latif?
Just saw a clip from a U.S. press conference on CNN, where they said they had killed an Al Qaeda leader called Al latif who apparently was “information minister” of Al Qaeda in Iraq.
Lots of confusing reports at the moment...

Excellent news. I hope that the US military will confirm it and also will confirm the death of the other terrorist leader Al Masri.

Wow, I never thought it would be so soon after the death of Masri. The loss of the top two should be a great blow to Al Qaida of Iraq.

There is why they are confused..
The Iraqis better get a handle on these spokesmen who run out and make these claims....pretty soon no one will believe a word they utter.

This is from an old article in March...the Iraqi's claimed they captured the SAME GUY.
The Iraqi state-run television confirmed the incident, quoting the Iraqi Interior Ministry spokesman, Brigadier Abdul Karim Khalaf, as saying that Muharib Abdullah Latif al-Jubouri was captured by the Iraqi security forces in the town of Dhuluiyah.
See what I mean....its a false claim a month.

Caldwell said al-Baghdadi’s death could not be confirmed. “If that person even exists, again, we have nobody in our possession or know of anybody that does, alive or dead, that is going through any kind of testing or analysis at this point with respect to those two individuals,” he said.
On Tuesday, officials reported that al-Masri, the head of al-Qaida in Iraq, had been killed by rivals north of Baghdad, but the body had not been recovered. Regarding al-Masri, Caldwell said “we in fact do not have in our possession nor do we know of anybody that has anybody or person at this time that we think is him.” “His overall status whether he is dead or alive is actually unknown to us at this point,” he added.
