The interior ministry in Iraq says it has received intelligence that the head of al-Qaeda in Iraq has been killed in an "internal battle" between militants.
Abu Ayyub al-Masri has led the group since June 2006, when Abu Musab al-Zarqawi was killed in an air strike.
One official said he was "100% sure" Masri was dead, but another urged caution as they do not have the body.
