A man believed to be a "sharia emir" -- one who enforces religious rules for terrorist groups -- was killed by soldiers in Baghdad on Friday.
The Iraqi and U.S. troops were searching a building. They told everyone to come out. One man went to the roof instead. He jumped to the next building. Then he hid in some stairs.
The soldiers surrounded him. The man acted as if he were about to surrender. But then he jumped at a soldier and tried to grab his gun. Other soldiers shot and killed him.
The dead man was Mohannad Rahman Salim Muhaymid al-Ani, also known as Sinan. He was the one the soldiers had been searching for.
Three other people were arrested at the time.
