WASHINGTON (AFP) - The Iraq insurgency has about ten leaders who meet occasionally both inside and outside Iraq, the Pentagon said Tuesday.

Also Tuesday, a US military spokesman said the US is holding between 12,000 and 17,000 Iraqis, insurgents, criminals and unlucky bystanders.

The leaders "occasionally meet - we've recorded that - not just in Iraq, but in Jordan and Syria," Keane said.

"I think those statements are accurate," Conway confirmed, while noting that the information is mostly classified secret by the Pentagon.
