Published in Saudi Press Agency on 13 - 02 - 2008


At least nine people were killed, and two wounded
in separate attacks in Iraq, while a Shiite Sadrist group said CBS
journalists would be released within hours, Iraqi officials said
Wednesday, according to dpa.
East of the Iraqi capital, militants opened fire on workers,
killing five and wounding another two, security sources told Deutsche
Presse-Agentur dpa.
"Militants driving three vehicles opened fire on seven workers on
their way to the construction site. Five of them are dead and the
other two are severely injured," an Iraqi official told dpa.
In Kirkuk, some 250 kilometres north of Baghdad, joint US-Iraqi
forces killed a leader of the al-Qaeda terrorist network and his
driver.
"Iraqi forces supported by US military managed to kill Fouad Abu-
Rosl, one of the al-Qaeda chiefs, in the late hours of Tuesday. His
driver was also shot dead," sources told dpa.
Iraqi forces said Wednesday that US military killed two former
Iraqi army officers in Baquba, some 60 kilometres north of Baghdad.
"US military forces raided the houses of two army officers,
killing both of them and burning their houses," sources said.
In another development, a Shiite group loyal to radical cleric
Moqtada al-Sadr said a British journalist and his Iraqi interpreter,
who are believed to have been abducted in the southern Iraqi city of
Basra, would be released Wednesday evening or Thursday morning at the
latest.
Earlier, sources close to the group told dpa a deal had been
reached for the release of both men, who work for the US television
network CBS.
