Terror Chief 'Killed In Internal Battle'
Updated: 09:59, Tuesday May 01, 2007
The leader of al Qaeda in Iraq has been killed, Iraq's Interior Ministry has said.
Abbu Ayyub al Masri was killed in an "internal battle", according to the ministry.
However, there is no independent confirmation of the report.
Brigadier-General Abdul Kareem Khalaf told the Reuters news agency: "We have definite intelligence reports that al Masri was killed today."
Another source in the ministry also said al Masri had been killed, Reuters said.
The US military has not confirmed the reports - but it has a $5m bounty on the terror chief's head.
There has been increasing friction between Sunni Islamist al Qaeda and other Sunni Arab insurgent groups in Iraq.
Local groups are said to be angered over al Qaeda's indiscriminate killing of Iraqi civilians.
Al Masri, an Egyptian, assumed the leadership of al Qaeda in Iraq after Jordanian militant Abu Musab al Zarqawi was killed in a US air strike in June 2006.
The US military has described al Masri, also known as Abu Hamza al Muhajir, as a close al Zarqawi associate.
Several sources are reporting...Bloomberg, reuters, etcetera.
US military still won't confirm however, but still...
YEE-HAW!

Probably someone from Pelosi’s staff...
It might be true this time.
We should know soon enough one way or the other.

Bottoms up!
From the scrolling banner:
“Al-Qaeda leader in Iraq Abu Ayoub el-Masri Killed”
Their retirement plan sucks!
Interesting...does this mean that the Sunni insurgents aren't killing civilians...or that they aren't killing them "indiscriminately?"
Breaking! Breaking! ping!
Now can we surrender?
Al Jazeera has it too.

Well now...looks like good news.
I would like to see official confirmation by U.S. authorities/military first, though.
Sounds like he got the "full Hamas". I love the smell of Red on Red in the morning, it smells like ...
I wonder what poor schlub has “got next?” I hope he ignores the dot of red light illuminating his head.
Yeah, is was an “internal battle” just like “jihad” is an “internal struggle”.
How can he be killed in Iraq when he is in an Egyptian jail?
/sarcasm
I guess the failure to produce a civil war in Iraq has created a civil war in al-Qaeda instead.
