Hunt for Zarqawi focuses north of Baghdad |
2004-11-23 |
Security forces were Tuesday focusing their hunt for Iraq's most wanted man, Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, on an area in north-central Iraq after receiving a tip-off, an Iraqi national guard officer said. "We received concrete information from very reliable sources that Zarqawi was transferred today to Tuz Khormatu and is heading to Baquba," Staff Brigadier General Anwar Hamad Ameed, the national guard chief in the northern city of Kirkuk, said. He gave no further details. Tuz Khormatu lies about 180 kilometres (111 miles) north of Baghdad. The US military believes Zarqawi, who has a 25 million dollar bounty on his head, was had been using the insurgent stronghold of Fallujah, west of the capital, as a safe haven but that he escaped the city before a US-led assault this month. |
