Top Al-Qaeda bombings planner slain
October 4, 2008 BAGHDAD (AFP) - US forces have killed an Al-Qaeda militant who planned some of the biggest bombings in Baghdad and who killed a group of Russian diplomats in 2006, the military said on Saturday.
Mahir Ahmad Mahmud al-Zubaydi, also known as Abu Assad or Abu Rami, was killed along with an unidentified woman in Baghdad’s Sunni district of Adhamiyah on Friday, a statement said.
Intelligence reports led US forces to a building in Adhamiyah where Abu Rami was holed up.
