Al Qaeda Leader in Mosul Shot Dead

Terrorists in Al Qaeda’s “last urban stronghold” in Iraq are without a leader:

The US military in Iraq says a militant killed on Tuesday has been positively identified as the leader of al-Qaeda in the city of Mosul. It said the man – identified by a pseudonym, Abu Khalaf — had co-ordinated and ordered many attacks. He was shot dead by American troops during a raid on a building in Mosul.
