BAGHDAD (Reuters) - The U.S. military said its forces killed an al Qaeda operative they named as Abu Islam and a number of fighters in air strikes at Karabila, close to Qaim, on the Syrian border on Tuesday.
"Intelligence leads Coalition forces to believe that Abu Islam and several of his associates were killed in the air strike," a spokeswoman said in Baghdad.
Earlier Arab television station Al Jazeera quoted doctors as saying at least 40 people were killed in an air strike near Qaim.
