A senior al-Qaida figure in Afghanistan, described by Western officials as one of Osama bin Laden's top six lieutenants, has been killed, it was reported yesterday. Abu Laith al-Libi was "martyred along with a group of his brothers on the territory of Islamic Pakistan" according to a statement on Ikhlaas.org, a website that often posts communiques from Islamists in Afghanistan and Iraq.

I suppose that Hitlary,Baarack, and McLame are outraged over this murder of an innocent man.

What a pity...for the goat.
Nice shot!
LBT
......
Then again, maybe we are.
Thanks for the good news.

They’re getting quieter too.
Five to go and then the lead rat.....
Cueing Queen music! Another one bites the dust. Another bites the dust. And another one’s gone, and another one’s gone. Another one bites the dust.
Great news for the good guys!!
I’m glad it was only a suspected US strike.
If it had been a real US strike with real US weapons, then somebody might have been hurt.
I’ve seen a couple of these on the news in the past couple of days. Someone has a new intel source...
I love the “suspected US strike” part.
Splash!!!
Does it bother anyone that the announcement of his death came from his own people?
“suspected US strike?”
It’s interesting what they know and what they think they know these days.
you’d be surprised by where we are... just ask Amadinajab?
He was in the top three...only Binny and Ayman above him....I bet you those two are crapping their pants today.
