KABUL (Reuters) - Afghan security forces have killed Abu Muhsin al-Masri, a senior al Qaeda leader who was on the Federal Bureau of Investigation’s Most Wanted Terrorists list, Afghanistan’s National Directorate of Security (NDS) said in a tweet late on Saturday.
Al-Masri has been charged in the United States with having provided material support and resources to a foreign terrorist organisation, and conspiracy to kill U.S. nationals.
Al-Masri, believed to be al Qaeda’s second-in-command, was killed during a special operation in Ghazni province, the NDS said.
The FBI declined to comment.
The al Qaeda operative, who also went by the name Husam Abd-al-Ra’uf, was an Egyptian national, according to the FBI.
Last month, U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said fewer than 200 al Qaeda operatives remain in Afghanistan.

Did he have a laptop?
Boom, baby.

Good one!
He was buried at sea according to muslim tradition.
Dump! dump! dump! Another one bites the dust!
Remember when all the #3 guys would repeatedly get de-iced and replaced? Now they’re going after the vice-scum...
Let’s just call all members of Al-Qaeda ‘senior leaders’ and watch them all get scared and go into permanent hiding.
Where is zawahiri?
Maybe it is a sign of a deal advancing with the Taliban - they must give up al Queda.
It has been central to the problem there for over 20 years.
Dirka dirka.
Excellent.....
#2. I don’t know if Al-Masri had a laptop but I’m pretty sure he doesn’t have any lap any more, and the horses/camels are feeling safer.
#7. Slight rewriting of your comment “He was buried at sea according to muslim tradition”.
It actually read “He was buried in C (crap) according to our tradition”.
