BAGHDAD, Iraq (CNN) -- Unconfirmed reports Tuesday indicated that Al
Qaeda in Iraq leader Abu Ayyub al-Masri had died in fighting between
rival militant groups north of the Iraqi capital, according to an
Interior Ministry spokesman.

"We received intelligence reports of al-Masri getting killed in
clashes between al-Qaeda in Iraq and other militant groups, at dawn
today, in al-Niba'ie in Taji, north of Baghdad," Brig. Gen. Abdul
Karim Khalaf said.

According to Khalaf, the reports are based on "very strong
intelligence," but he added al-Masri's body has not been seen and
stressed that the reported battle was an internal fight between rival
militant groups -- no Iraqi troops were involved.

"I have no confirmation of what is being reported in the Iraqi media,"
said military spokesman Lt. Col. Christopher Garver.

In February, Iraq's Interior Ministry claimed Iraqi security forces
wounded al-Masri in another clash north of Baghdad, but the U.S.
military cast doubt on that report. The ministry never backed away
from its claim.

Al-Masri succeeded Abu Musab al-Zarqawi as the leader of al Qaeda in
Iraq after the latter was killed in a U.S. airstrike in June.

i love it when they fight among themselves.
