| Al-Qaeda in Iraq leader 'killed' Reports from Iraq say the militant leader who took over from the late Abu Musab al-Zarqawi as al-Qaeda leader in the country has been killed.
Abu Hamza al-Muhajir, also known as Ayyub al-Masri, was identified by US forces as Zarqawi's successor after he was killed in a US raid in June 2006.
A correspondent for Arabia TV in Baghdad reports that al-Muhajir was killed in a US-led military raid.
Reports of his death, quoting unnamed Iraqi sources, cannot be confirmed. Good job, boys!
