Al Qaeda in Iraq

The US added al Qaeda in Iraq’s emir, Abu Du’a, who is also known as Abu Bakr al Baghdadi al Husseini al Qurshi, to the list of designated terrorists. Abu Du’a is now one of the top three most-wanted terror leaders in the world, with a $10 million bounty for information leading to his capture.
