Iraqi tribal fighters claim to have killed al-Qaida terrorists

An armed group created with government backing to drive al-Qaida fighters out of a restive Iraqi province today claimed it had killed five top members of the terror group.

“Your brothers, heroes of the Revenge Brigade, carried out the killing of five important elements of al Qaida group, avenging the death of the sons of our Ramadi city,” said the Anbar Revenge Brigade, recently formed by tribal leaders of the western Anbar province.
