Slain al-Qaida member had letters to Osama By AP BAGHDAD -- A top member of al-Qaida in Iraq was killed during an operation this week in Baghdad carrying letters for Osama bin Laden, an Iraqi interior ministry official said yesterday. Meanwhile, a U.S. military spokesman said U.S. forces had arrested an al-Qaida terrorist associated with the new leader of the terror group's Iraqi offshoot, Abu Ayyoub al-Masri. Abu Jaafar al-Liby, who was either the second or third most important figure in al-Qaida in Iraq, was killed by police during an operation three days ago, ministry spokesman Brig. Abdul-Karim Khalaf said. Four other insurgents were killed and two were arrested in the raid, Khalaf said. Al-Liby had been in charge of the Baghdad sector of al-Qaida in Iraq, Khalaf said. He said two letters were found on his body -- one for bin Laden and the other for al-Masri. Both pledged loyalty and promised more attacks. It was not immediately known if the killing announced by Khalaf was related to the operations that led to the Tuesday arrest of the unidentified al-Qaida terror suspect described by U.S. Maj.-Gen. William Caldwell. The suspect was a "personal associate" of al-Masri, Caldwell said. [Non-text portions of this message have been removed] -------------------------- Want to discuss this topic?
