In other developments, Iraqi security and coalition forces killed the second-most-wanted al Qaeda terrorist in Iraq, Abdallah Najim Abdallah Muhammad al-Juwari, otherwise known as Abu Azzam, the al Qaeda in Iraq "emir of Baghdad," during an early morning raid Sept. 25 in Baghdad.
Abu Azzam was the operational commander for fugitive Jordanian terrorist Abu Musab al-Zarqawi's al Qaeda in Iraq network, and he was responsible for the upsurge in violent attacks in the city since April, officials said.
Multiple intelligence sources and corroborating information from a close associate of Abu Azzam led coalition and Iraqi security forces to the terrorist safe house where he was hiding. The mission was designed to capture him, but Abu Azzam fired on the forces, and their return fire killed him, officials said.
Someone turned him in then?
And Iraqis continue to give our troops tips on the terrorists.
Elsewhere, Task Force Baghdad soldiers, acting on a tip from an Iraqi citizen, seized a weapons cache hidden in western Baghdad on Sept. 25.
Hopefully, soon, someone will give up Zarqawi and it might just be the terrorists as this seems to indicate.
