Unconfirmed reports out of Iraq are saying that the leader of al Qaeda in Iraq, Abu Ayyub al-Masri, the successor to Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, reportedly died in a battle with other insurgents today. They have yet to perform a DNA test. We'll know for sure once the American military announces it. If true, the tables have turned on al Qaeda. We captured the man who would have replaced al-Masri last year, captured seventeen of their people just three days ago, and now possibly have killed al-Masri. More later as it develops.
