Iraq:
A British Army helicopter was close to capturing Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, one of Al-Qaeda’s top military men in Iraq, but had to turn back as it ran low on fuel, documents leaked over the weekend show.
The Lynx aircraft was following a car carrying Abu Musab al-Zarqawi for 15 minutes and was about 60miles from the British base in Basra when it had to turn round. Troops later began a foot race to track him down but he had disappeared and the search was abandoned.
