More than 750 insurgents killed in western Iraq: general

BAGHDAD, Dec 12 (PG) - Security operations in western Iraq have killed more than 750 insurgents and captured almost 2,000 in the past few weeks, a senior defense ministry official said Monday.

"Enemy casualties in the Euphrates Valley have reached 753 killed and 58 wounded," General Abdel Aziz Mohammed told a press conference in Baghdad.

"The number of detained is 1,978 and includes an emir (insurgent cell chief) named Khalaf Fanus who was turned in to police forces by his family.

"All zones along the valley have been cleared and we are maintaining an Iraqi and multinational military presence there until police forces arrive to secure the area."
