Multinational Forces Iraq has confirmed it killed a senior al Qaeda in Iraq commander during a raid near Samarra on November 8. The remains of Abu Abdullah, also known as Muhammad Sulayman Shunaythir al Zuba’i, have been positively identified by Multinational Forces Iraq.
Just prior to his death, Abu Abdullah was “high-level al-Qaeda in Iraq leader for a network operating in the Salahadin province. Reports indicate Abdullah was an experienced bomb-maker and attack planner who coordinated numerous attacks on Coalition and Iraqi forces over the past three years, using a variety of improvised explosive devices combined with small-arms fire.” Abu Abdullah was also complicit in “kidnapping, extortion and murder” and “led a group of foreign terrorists, whom he used to conduct his car-bombing campaigns.”
The Samarra-Tarmiyah region was believed to be a command and control node for al Qaeda in Iraq’s central leadership at the time of Abu Abdullah’s death. Multiple media cells and senior al Qaeda in Iraq leaders have been killed or captured in the region.
Before taking over operations in Salahadin, Abu Abdullah was a close associate of Abu Musab al Zarqawi, the deceased leader of al Qaeda in Iraq. Abu Abdullah “historical ties to the Battle of Fallujah in 2004” and was “a regional Emir controlling [al Qaeda in Iraq] terrorists in an area between west Baghdad and east of Fallujah.” The region between west Baghdad and Fallujah contains the city of Karma, once one of the most violent regions of Iraq, as well as Abu Ghraib.
This region is also the home to the Zuba’a tribe, which was one of the “sinister six” tribes in Anbar province that signed on to support al Qaeda in Iraq and its puppet Islamic State of Iraq. A senior American military intelligence official informs The Long War Journal that Abu Abdullah was the leader of the Zuba’a who signed on to al Qaeda in Iraq.
The Zuba’a tribe fought an internal civil war over the decision to join al Qaeda in Iraq. The pro-American wing won out after a brutal campaign that included numerous clashes and the near assassination of Salam al-Zuba’i, one of Iraq’s two Deputy Prime Ministers.

Another one bites the dust ping.
LOL!
For some strange reason they seem to have a rather high turnover in the position of “Senior Al Qaida Leader”.
Yeah. The career expectancy is measured in days now.
I love it when a plan comes together.
Looks like the Expert bomb maker got blowed up guud.
Only fitting.

Abu Abdullah was also complicit in “kidnapping, extortion and murder
soo...Hes Just another dead Gangster.
Re “the rather high turnover in the position of Senior Al Qaida Leader”. It is actually a result of the Trickle-Down Theory of Management.
We blow them up, and their remains trickle down on the survivors, who then move up in the target-chain until they become part of the trickle-down movement themselves. Notice: They have no IRA or 401K plans.
For the environmentalists among us, it is called “recycling” body minerals.
That shot of a Hellfire missile making sushi of a car full of Al Qaida really made my Christmas, and I’m Jewish.
Love it when a good plan comes together as in “good intelligence, good Predators, and a dead-on missile hit.”
Christmas greeting to terrorists: “Be afraid; be very afraid.”
We know if you’ve been good or not, and we know where you are.
Coming to a “theater of operation” near you, “Hellfire, the Movie”, the sequel to “Hellboy, the US Army”. Enjoy the show because it will be your last.
Some calls him Tom, some calls him Huey.
Soon, Al Qaeda members will refuse promotion. “Me? Me leader? No, you lead! I don’t wanna lead!”

Why would they leave any remains at all?
