British forces kill high-profile al-Qaida leader
BAGHDAD (AP) - British forces said they killed a top terrorist leader Monday, identified by Iraqi officials as an al-Qaida leader who had escaped from a U.S. prison in Afghanistan and returned to Iraq.
Omar al-Farouq was killed in a pre-dawn raid by 250 British troops from the Princess of Wales Royal Regiment on his home in Basra, about 550 kilometres southeast of Baghdad, said British forces spokesman Maj. Charlie Burbridge
