| Iraq has determined that the Al Qaida presence has decreased. Officials said Iraqi intelligence has assessed that the number of Al Qaida operatives in the country decreased significantly over the last year. They said many of the operatives were either killed, captured or returned to their native countries. "We have information that many members of Al Qaida have returned to their countries," Iraqi Interior Minister Bayan Jabr said. Officials said no more than several hundred Al Qaida operatives were believed to be in Iraq. They said more than 2,000 Al Qaida fighters had been operating in the country until 2005. |
