Leading fugitive Saudi militant 'killed in Iraq'
23/06/2005 - 11:47:57One of Saudi Arabia’s most wanted terror suspects was killed by an air-strike during fighting with US and Iraqi forces in north-west Iraq, the leader of the al-Qaida in Iraq group said in a website statement posted today.
Abdullah al-Rashoud had been number 24 on a list of the top-26 most wanted terror leaders put out by Saudi Arabia three years ago, and was one of only three militants on the list still at large.
The website posting said he slipped into Iraq in April.
