BAGHDAD, May 3 (Reuters) - U.S. and Iraqi forces have killed the head of the self-styled Islamic State in Iraq, an al Qaeda-led militant group that has claimed many major attacks in the country, Iraq's deputy interior minister said on Thursday.Hussein Kamal said Abu Omar al-Baghdadi had been killed in a battle north of Baghdad. He declined to say when but said authorities had recovered Baghdadi's body.
"Abu Omar al-Baghdadi was killed north of Baghdad by Iraqi and American forces. He died as a result of wounds sustained in clashes. The Interior Ministry has his body to carry out further checks," Kamal told Reuters by telephone.
U.S. military spokesman Lieutenant-Colonel Christopher Garver declined to comment but said a news conference would be held later on Thursday to announce the "success" of an operation against Sunni Islamist al Qaeda.

Do they suffer from Baghdad Bob Syndrome?
Hell the whole blooming country does...:-)
It's not known, for sure, but it is rumored that their sheep were jealous of each other.
Yep Bill O’Reilly is an idiot who simply does not understand that we are in Iraq fighting Al Qaeda, Iran, and Syria, and we are fighting them there to protect our freedom and our way of life. He keeps blathering about that we have done the Iraqis a favor but the Iraqis are not standing up for themselves as if we are there just for the Iraqis but not first and foremost for our national security as Iraq is now the central front of the war on terror.
Thanks for the link.
Exactly.
The best part of his show nowadays is the Dennis Miller segment.
The 72-hour Operation Rat Trap led to the death of 15 and the capture of 95 insurgents as coalition forces targeted al-Qaeda sites outside the city of Taji, north of Baghdad...
I wish our press would cover this stuff! And what a perfect name for the operation!
So, where’s the body ? Where’s the DNA test result ?
Que the Queen music.....bomp bomp bomp....another one bites the dust.....and another one’s gone, and another one’s gone....another one bites the dust.....hey, I’m gonna get to you....another one bites the dust.....sing it!
True, but she'll probably make up for it with a congressional inquiry into 'another needless death'.
This seems to be a weekly announcement now.
But it looks like we may have gotten the “Information Minister”
U.S. military spokesman Major-General William Caldwell said Muharib Abdul Latif al-Jubouri was the “senior minister of information” for al Qaeda in Iraq.
If you haven't seen this yet: A campaign by active-duty troops asking Congress to drop plans for a withdrawal from Iraq. Lt. Jason Nichols, a 33-year-old naval projects officer who has been in Baghdad since mid-January, said the goal is to keep lawmakers focused on letting the military finish its mission in Iraq, and not prematurely declare failure

Sr. al-queda leaders are dropping faster than you can shake a stick. Wonder what Harry Reid has to say about this.
His last words were, "Oh Shite! I'm not smarter than a fifth grader!"
I used to like him, but he’s getting more unwatchable.
Dog, you’re getting good at this. That’s why I know a lot about what’s going on in Iraq thanks to your tireless detective work on who’s who in Al-Qaeda. I hope the next one they capture will be Zawahiri.
Did any one else take offense Pelosi went to see Pres. Assad and came back to the US with an anti-war bill? I would love a US citizens march on that woman’s office, all of us with white flags.......... to present to her!
</sarcasm>
I wish that our military (no hope for the MSM on this one) would stop using these dumbasses’ aliases and start using their real names. Calling them Abu this or Abu that is a sign of respect; respect that we shouldn’t be giving to them. (Abu means “father”.)
