BAGHDAD, MAY 9 : The US military on Friday denied Iraqi Government claims that the leader of Al Qaeda in Iraq was captured and said a man with a similar name had been arrested in the northern city of Mosul.

Iraqi authorities had announced Thursday that police commandos captured Abu Ayyub al-Masri in a raid in the northern city of Mosul.

“Neither coalition forces nor Iraqi security forces detained or killed Abu Ayyub al-Masri. This guy had a similar name,” said Maj Peggy Kageleiry, a US military spokeswoman in northern Iraq.

She said no additional details were being immediately provided.
