We'll hold off on the happy dance untill the US confirms but this looks pretty solid.The leader of al Qaeda in Iraq has been killed, Iraq's Interior Ministry has said.
Abbu Ayyub al Masri was killed in an "internal battle", according to the ministry.
However, there is no independent confirmation of the report.
Brigadier-General Abdul Kareem Khalaf told the Reuters news agency: "We have definite intelligence reports that al Masri was killed today."
Another source in the ministry also said al Masri had been killed, Reuters said.
