(KUNA) -- Several tribal members killed Saturday four members of Al-Qaeda, including a prominent leader, whereas several of the network members have escaped towards the Syrian-Iraqi borders, the Iraqi television quoted Al-Anbar council saying.
Ran 'em out of town, did they?
The council, which consists of tribal leaders in the province, said that members of their tribes killed four Al-Qaeda members, including a prominent leader in the network known as Abu Shujae Al-Yamani, during an armed confrontation in Sankoura town in western Iraq. The council said several of the network's members have escaped towards the Iraqi-Syrian borders urging the Iraqi government to pursue them. The council had declared earlier that two Al-Qaeda members were killed and six others were arrested and were handed over to the Iraqi authorities.

Meanwhile, Iraqi security forces continued a wide-scale military operation in Diyala province in northeast Baghdad. Spokesman of the general commander of the armed forces, Qassem Al-Mawsawi told KUNA that 39 militants were arrested in Baqouba during the operation conducted by the Iraqi army. The security forces declared on Friday that 60 militants were also arrested in Diyala.
