FNC Breaking: Al Qaeda Leader Abu Ubaida al Masri Confirmed Dead
Fox News ^ | 4-9-08

Posted on 04/09/2008 7:27:52 AM PDT by cgk

A U.S. official confirmed to FOX News Wednesday that Al Qaeda operative and bomb expert Abu Ubaida al-Masri is dead. Al-Masri was one of the top 10 Al Qaeda leaders and was responsible for the organization’s external operations, meaning he plotted attacks outside the tribal areas of Pakistan. The unidentified official said it is believed that al-Masri died of natural causes, possibly hepatitis, in Pakistan, and are staying away from a report that he was killed in a January CIA predator strike.

He died of AIDS. Probably got it from Bin Laden or Zawahiri.

From the first line of the story you linked:

" If Al Qaeda strikes the West in the coming months, it's likely the mastermind will won't be a stocky Egyptian explosives expert with two missing fingers."

I took the liberty of correcting an error in it.

There are a couple al Masri's in the Al Qaeda/terrorist circles. A well-known one, Abu Ayyub al-Masri, who was an aide to Zarqawi was killed in June 2006, are you thinking of him?
