A man killed during fighting in Iraq last month was a key figure in the al-Qaeda in Iraq movement, the US military has said. Abu Maysara, a Syrian, was a senior adviser to the group's leader, Abu Ayyub al-Masri, a statement said.
Abu Maysara died during a raid near Samarra and was identified using DNA evidence, the military said. Separately, US military officials say they regret the killing of an Iraqi civilian during operations on Monday. The militant Abu Maysara and five other people died during a fire fight that broke out when US forces surrounded a house used to disseminate al-Qaeda in Iraq propaganda in Samarra, 100km (60 miles) north of Baghdad. He is thought to have played a key role in the group's media network and is said to have escaped from prison in March. Warnings 'ignored' Monday's civilian death occurred during operations against suspected al-Qaeda militants in the town of Tarmiya, north of Baghdad. Another three civilians were shot and wounded during the incident. A US spokesman said the civilians had been in a vehicle that approached troops at high speed, ignoring warnings to stop.
Last week a number of other civilians were killed by mistake in at least two separate incidents in Iraq.

As long as they make Bush look bad, it doesn’t matter to them.
Yes, they're so very desperate for things like that these days. They are despairing that there aren't more incidents like that to report.
They really are pathetic and self-serving to the point of being evil.
Of course civilian deaths are a tragedy. But I am pretty fed up with this spin crapola coming from news men who aid and abet the enemy, by appealing to the soft liberals in our midst in a never ending stream of spin propaganda. When will pay back time come to them??? I hope people just stop reading their paper.
I'm so mad I'd like to shake this one!
Them “senior” AQ leaders are getting younger and younger!
The good news just keeps on coming!
The Dhimmicrats aren’t just deeply saddened, they are in total denial!
Thank you for all of your reports from Iraq, Ernest.
And, thank you for the ping, senor!
Nice to see this goon finally is pushing up daisies. Let us hope it scares his local network(s) into increased disarray, and forces them to scatter, where they can also be finally picked off. Of course it is possible they where already in this mode, and his little gang where caught red handed, as they attempted to relocate to some safer haven.
thanks E.
Coalition forces positively identify terrorist killed in recent raid

199 to go.
If they were in business back then, their coverage the day of Germany’s surrender would have been all about “devastating U.S. casualties in the Pacific”.
Thank you, Thank you for these terrific posts
