Baghdad : Iraqi troopers have killed a prominent militant believed to be a top aide of the Al Qaeda leader in Iraq, an army spokesman told the independent news agency Voices of Iraq (VOI) Saturday.

Mowafaq Yassin, identified as "the right-hand man of Al Qaeda's leader in Iraq Abu Hamza al-Muhajir," was shot after a firefight in the area of Badosh, 40 km west of Mosul, Friday, Brigadier Mutaa al-Khazraji told VOI.

"After clashes that continued for 30 minutes the soldiers killed him inside his home," said Khazraji. The senior officer said that Yassin specialised in preparing car bombs used in suicide operations.

Pardon me, but would you happen to have a spare pint of sympathy? I seemed to have run out.

Great to hear the Iraqi forces are independently going after these scum bags with more success. They and we are slowly draining the swamp.
