Al-Qaeda Escapee Killed In Firefight

From Yahoo News Australia:

A member of al-Qaeda in Iraq who broke out of jail has been killed in a firefight while two other prisoners on the run have been surrounded by police.

"We killed 'Imad the killer' and he is lying on the street in front of me," an officer told AFP. "We are exchanging gunfire with the other two who are hiding in a house in Street number 20 in the centre of the city."

The man killed by Iraqi forces, Imad Ahmed Farhan, was nicknamed "Imad the killer" because police say he has admitted to murdering at least 100 people.

The men escaped from Forsan police station in Ramadi , capital of Anbar province, on Friday in a brazen breakout that sparked a gunbattle which killed 13 militants and policemen.
