Jan. 18, 2006 — ABC News has learned that al Qaeda's master bomb maker and chemical weapons expert was one of the men killed in last week's U.S. missile attack in eastern Pakistan.
Midhat Mursi, 52, also known as Abu Khabab al-Masri, was identified by Pakistani authorities as one of three known al Qaeda leaders present at an apparent terror summit conference in the village of Damadola.

The United States had posted a $5 million reward for Mursi's capture. He is described by U.S. authorities as the man who ran al Qaeda's infamous Derunta training camp in Afghanistan, where he used dogs and other animals as subjects of experiments with poison and chemicals.
"This is extraordinarily important," said former FBI agent Jack Cloonan, an ABC News consultant, who was the senior agent on the FBI's al Qaeda squad. "He's the man who trained the shoe bomber, Richard Reid and Zacharias Mousssaoui, as well as hundreds of others."
Pakistani authorities tell ABC News they have confirmation that Mursi was among those on the guest list for the late-night meeting. The authorities say al Qaeda's No. 2 man, Ayman al-Zawahiri, was also expected to attend but apparently changed his mind.
Ping
Now known a Shish-Khabab........
Excellent. It looks like he blowed up real good.
Excellent, we made a kabab out of Abu Khabab. Good news.
He certainly was cooked to a crisp like a kabob. ;-)
Excellent news.
Of course CNN ran their smear campaign against this action by the administration before knowing the facts.
I doubt they'll hype the new findings since it is old news and doesnt meet CNN's anti-Bush Agenda.
Great minds...
Yep, happens a lot on FR!!!
Or maybe one of the Paki's Intelligence types warned him.
Live by the bomb.....................
Khabab went KhaBOOM.
Hot diggity dawg! Salute to our military personnel for dispatching an islamic murderer to his 72 ugly virgins. The only problem: the stinking killer died too quickly.
BUT...BUT...BUT...
The Mainstream Media said it was just innocent women and children killed... They wouldn't lie would they? (sarc)
I guess this scumbag was one of those "innocent Muslims" killed by the evil Americans, according to all the protesters.
Saved $5 million bump!
