American soldiers killed Abu Qaswarah, the No. 2 leader of al-Qaida in Iraq, a Moroccan who trained in Afghanistan, recruited foreign fighters and ran operations in northern Iraq where Sunni insurgents remain a potent threat, the U.S. military said Wednesday. Abu Qaswarah died Oct. 5 during a raid on a building in the northern city of Mosul that served as a major "command and control location" for the region, the U.S. military said. Four other insurgents were killed in the operation, the U.S. said. The announcement of Abu Qaswarah's death was withheld until Wednesday to allow for positive identification, the military said.
