In the wake of several high-profile attacks by Al-Qaida operatives on U.S. military helicopters in central Iraq in April and May, supporters of Abu Musab al-Zarqawi's movement have announced the "martyrdom" of numerous members of Al-Qaida's Aeisha Brigade (which specializes in anti-aircraft missions) near the Iraqi town of Al-Yusifiyah. Separately, Palestinian Al-Qaida supporters have announced the "martyrdom" of Abu Jaffar al-Maqdisi, a former senior aide to Zarqawi from the Ain el-Hilweh Refugee Camp in south Lebanon who allegedly was one of the masked militants featured alongside Zarqawi in a video released in April 2006. - Martyrdom will of Abu Jaffar al-Maqdisi (South Lebanon) See also: - Palestinian Asbat al-Ansar members killed in Iraq
