Iraq's al-Qaida chief 'arrested during raid'
Iraq: Police commandos claim they have captured Abu Ayyub al-Masri – the leader of al-Qaida in Iraq – while he slept in a raid in the northern city of Mosul.
However, the US military today said there were "no operational reports" to confirm his arrest, adding the capture of another insurgent might have caused confusion.
Jamaica: Prime Minister Bruce Golding has ordered additional police patrols and soldiers to curb violent crime as the number of murders in Jamaica climbed to nearly 550 this year.
