Al-Qaeda in Iraq leader 'killed' The interior ministry in Iraq says it has received intelligence that the head of al-Qaeda in Iraq has been killed. Abu Ayyub al-Masri, believed to be an Egyptian, has led the group since June 2006 when Abu Musab al-Zarqawi was killed in a US air strike. Al-Qaeda in Iraq is blamed for or has claimed some of the bloodiest insurgent attacks in Iraq since 2003. According to Iraqi officials, al-Masri was killed in an "internal battle" between militants. The clash took place on Tuesday in northern Baghdad, an interior ministry official said on Iraqi television. The official said that he was "100% sure" that al-Masri had been killed. However the official said that the authorities do not actually have al-Masri's corpse in their possession, and the US military has been unable to verify the claim. Al-Masri, who is also known as Abu Hamza al-Muhajir, is believed to have trained in Afghanistan and formed al-Qaeda's first cell in Baghdad. The United States has a $5 million bounty his head.
