BAGHDAD, Feb 24 (KUNA) -- Iraqi forces captured a terrorist cell leader, responsible for killing civilians, Iraqi and coalition forces over the past months, an Iraqi TV station reported Saturday.

Al-Iraqiya semi-official station said Iraqi forces captured Abdullah Al-Katouni, a leader of a cell comprising 30 snipers who were hunting down civilians and Iraqi forces.

The terrorists were ambushed in their hideout in Mashahda town northern Baghdad, said the TV.

The terrorists are responsible for killing a large number of civilians, Iraqi and coalition forces, it added.

Brigadier Abdulkareem Khalaf, director of the Interior Ministry's national command center, said earlier today a key terrorist in so-called Al-Jaish Al-Islami (Islamic Army) organization was captured in northern Baghdad.

Iraqi rapid reaction forces, backed by American troops, raided a base used by Al-Jaish Al-Islami and killed scores of terrorists and captured their leader Saad Khalifa.(end) mhg.
