The Anbar Salvation Council claims it killed al Qaeda in Iraq leader Abu Ayyub al-Masri in fighting Tuesday.
Sheikh Abdul Sattar Abu Reesha -- head of the anti-al Qaeda in Iraq tribal alliance -- said fighters, with help from tribes in the Niba'ie area, killed al-Masri and eight of his aides in a battle Tuesday morning.
Ali al-Dabbagh, spokesman for Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki, passed along reports about the death but cited tribal sources and not Iraqi intelligence. He said the government won't be able to confirm al-Masri's death until it makes an identification of the body.
"Iraqi security forces do not have the body," al-Dabbagh said on Iraqi state TV. "Iraqi security forces and Multi-National Forces are trying to retrieve the body for visual identification and DNA tests." Abu Reesha said "eyewitnesses saw their bodies dumped in the battlefield" but did not say where the bodies were. Abu Reesha provided details of the fighting in a phone interview with al-Iraqiya state TV, a national network.
Al-Masri -- also known as Sheikh Abu Hamza al-Muhajer -- succeeded Abu Musab al-Zarqawi as the leader of al Qaeda in Iraq after his death in a U.S. airstrike in June.....
