| Irbil boom likely Dire Revenge for Hassan Ghul bust |
| 2004-02-03 |
| The bombings in the northern Iraqi city of Arbil may have been carried out to avenge the arrest of a veteran Al-Qaeda leader, a senior official of the US-led coalition said on Monday. Asked who was behind Sunday’s attacks that killed at least 65 people and wounded more than 200, the official said it may have been "payback" for the capture in Iraq of Hasan Ghul on January 22. |
