US troops claim big fish captured or killed in Kirkuk
Reports from Kirkuk say a high value insurgent figure, possibly Saddam Hussein’s former deputy Izzat Ibrahim al Douri, was killed or captured in a major operation. U.S. officials doubted the claim while Iraqi Governing Council member Mowaffak al Rubaie called the operation very large. Nearby fighting near Samarra left a U.S. soldier dead and up to 54 guerrillas reported killed, though civilians’ deaths are disputed.
