(KUNA) -- US forces have captured on Saturday a wanted leader of the Al-Qaeda terrorist network in the northern Iraqi city of Kirkuk, after a raid operation.

A source in the Iraqi joint multi-national forces and coordination told KUNA that a joint force including Iraqi police raided Hawaija area south west of Kirkuk during which Jasim Muhammad Ali, also known as Mullah Jasim, who's name appeared in the multi-national forces wanted list was captured. Jasim is also alleged to be the mastermind of major terrorist attacks in Hawaija, including car bomb blasts, kidnappings, civilian killings and assaults on Iraqi and US troops.
