    US military sources say it is probably not Muhajir, but they are awaiting confirmation from the tests. An Arabic media correspondent in Baghdad, quoting government sources, reported that Muhajir was killed in Haditha.

    Muhajir took over as the al-Qaeda in Iraq leader in June after the death of his predecessor Abu Musab al-Zarqawi.
