ISLAMABAD, Pakistan - One of al-Qaida's top five leaders, a key associate of Ayman al-Zawahri, was tracked down with U.S. help and killed by Pakistani security forces in a rocket attack near the Afghan border, officials said Saturday.
OUTSTANDING!
I hope this is confirmed
Zawahiri is more dabgerous than Bin laden IMHO
My bad! I thought it was Zawahiri
Not just a key assiciate.
Oh well, one more bad guy gone and a tightening noose will do for now
The articles says it's confirmed. They had to use DNA tests, there wasn't enough left of him to identify through other means. Apparently there was a secondary explosion from bomb-building materials in the building.
Apparently he was hoist by his own petard. (literally).
No Virgins For You! bwaahahahahahahahaha!
Didn't we kill him before?
What happens if you are in a marathon race and you pass up the guy in second place? What place are you then in?
and these guys thought they were hotshots after 911 and imagined reveling in a victory over the United States... i am glad they spend their days looking over their shoulders and up in the sky... the stress they must go through every day must make them wonder if it was worth it in the first place
Let it be known that there is no future in being an Al Queda leader.
yes yes, 200% confirmed acording to Musharef
Yea, Zawahiri's and bin-Laden's time will come. I personally think bin Laden might be dead of natural causes, but Zawahiri's definitely still kicking. Not for long, I hope.
"Didn't we kill him before?"
I guess the Number 3 spot is like being the drummer in "Spinal Tap".
More depressing news for Pelosi, Murtha and their DemocRAT comrades. The "corrupt" military is knocking off their "freedom fighters" one by one.
Good stuff. If this keeps up, soon they'll be reporting "One of Top 5 Al Quida Leaders Vaporized - Waterboy Rose to Top Quickly".
You are then in second place.
Why, second place of course.
And - this is only what we hear about. How many middle-tier operatives (the guys that come, organize, and leave before the strike, like London) have been "disappeared" and we never hear about it ? There's a reason why there haven't been more large attacks.
Neverlheless, the point I was trying to make with that question was that there is always going to be someone to take this sicko terrorist's place................ until they are all eating 72 old grapes.
We killed his wife and kids in a previous missile attack and the remains were initially identified as his in error. Al qaeda intercepts with his code name, Rabah, have been picked up talking of his death.
Interestingly Rabia doesnt show up on the FBI Most wanted terror suspects list
