RIYADH (AFP) - The killing of Al-Qaeda's new frontman in Saudi Arabia means that the network's local branch is now "brain dead" after successive killings of hardcore leaders, a prominent Muslim cleric said.
Where are the fat ladies singing and dancing in the street after this "miracle?" Are they doing that ululation thing?

So, stop allowing Saudi terrorists to cross into Iraq.
This is the point in killing or capturing these guys.
Too many on FR and elsewhere cry that someone else will just take their place. While the new person may fill the same spot in the org chart they do not have the contacts with higher ups in AQ and elsewhere. They do not have the same experience. Many of the "old guard" fought in the Afghan war against the Russians. Others fought in Bosnia. These new guys were still in school then. The average age of the guys on the new list is 27.
It is helpful to think of these organizations like a mob family. While the button men and the lieutenants are dangerous men it is the capos and the godfather who know who to bribe who owes favors etc etc.

it is a very good thing to see the Saudis step up to the plate and take a swing. It loks like a Home Run
Alqaida is a limited corporation. They don't even sell stock. Poor business model even for a non-profit.
I notice that the Saudi's usually kill their terrorists before they ever get to jail.
