Saudi Al-Qaida Members Reported Killed in Iraq

By Evan Kohlmann

Two young Saudi Al-Qaida recruits have been reported killed in recent suicide bomb attacks near the Iraqi capital Baghdad.  Allegedly, one of the men, 20-year old Mansour al-Hameed (a.k.a. "Abul-Hajer", "Abu Azzam") was responsible for a July 27 suicide bombing operation by Al-Qaida's Al-Baraa bin Malik Martyrs Brigade targeting Iraqi National Guard troops in Al-Azamiyah that killed ten people and wounded at least nine others.  Hameed's friend and fellow Saudi national Nasser al-Otaibi was reportedly killed in a second suicide bombing attack a week later targeting three Humvees in Bab Sharqi.
