BAGHDAD, March 23 (KUNA) -- Up to 15 Al-Qaeda operatives were killed Sunday
in an air raid by US fighter jets over Diyala district, northeast of the
capital, Baghdad.
Iraqi security sources told KUNA that the American planes shelled Al-Qaeda
hideouts in the village of Baladros, southeast of Baqouba, Diyala's largest
city, killing 15 members of Al-Qaeda.
Meanwhile, official spokesman for the law implementation plan Major General
Qassem Atta said no military attire would be on sale at markets to prevent
