US military says it killed senior al-Qaida leader
US-led forces conducting a crackdown on al-Qaida killed a senior member of the insurgent group who was responsible for the high-profile kidnappings of several Westerners, a military spokesman said today.
The US Embassy, meanwhile, said a rocket attack on Iraq’s heavily fortified Green Zone yesterday killed four foreign contractors --one from the Philippines, one from Nepal and two from India – working for a US government contractor.
