Car explosion kill 6 alleged al-Qaida members

NBC, MSNBC AND NEWS SERVICES

SAN'A, Yemen, Nov. 4 — Six al-Qaida suspects were killed Monday when the car they were traveling in blew up in northwest Yemen in an area where authorities believe the terror group is active, Yemeni security officials said. They included a suspect in the al-Qaida linked attack two years ago on the U.S. warship in a Yemeni port.

Does anybody think that this will help sway some undecideds (or even *GASP* Democrats) when voting tomorrow? Some people might just need reminding of what's at stake in the War on Terror, and which party is more likely to produce real results. I'm reminded of Jack Nicholson's monologue from "A Few Good Men":

"Son, we live in a world that has walls, and those walls have to be guarded by men with guns. Who's gonna do it? You? ...< snip>... deep down in places you don't talk about at parties, you want me on that wall, you need me on that wall! "

Oughta spook the devil out of the Jihadists. We will find you, track you and kill you when you kill Americans

And we'll do it with a Hellfire missile, courtesy of the Great Satan. :-)

If we can't get the Islamofascists to like us, then at least we can get them to fear us. They need to have the hesitation born of fear expressed in this classic line from the movie "The Usual Suspects": "How do you shoot the devil in the back? What if you miss?"

[hchutch]

I agree.

It is a shame about the car, though...

[Poohbah]

Whoever set this up deserves a big bonus for this.

At least he should get a free replay on the Predator video game control console :o)

I wonder what was written on the smart bomb by the ordies that loaded it... (You write what you would write on it).

Non-creative Example: Remember the Cole!

"a $2 million missile destroys a $250 car ... but Uncler Sam can afford it :)"

Not to mention PRICELESS American lives, as well as about $35 million in reward money. Yep, Uncle Sam can afford it, and I as an American taxpayer, am happy to help pay for it.

Kill the Jihadikazi scum! Kill them all!!

[Poohbah]

Reminds me of a novel where vigilantism is on the increase. A car bomb wipes out a drug dealer, a couple of his thugs, and half a dozen magnolia trees.

A letter to the editor says that it was a durn shame about the trees.

[AmericanInTokyo]

All I want to say (and perhaps aired on al-Jazeera right now in Arabic) is: "Shut Up Iraq and Saddam. You Are Next!"

Secondary explosions were seen after the missile hit the vehicle, indicating there were explosives inside the car. Officials said they don’t know what the explosives were or why they were in the vehicle.

MSNBC forgot to include the part where they said they didn't give an airborne fornication at a rolling doughnut about the WHY part :o)

[hchutch]

Of course, what are the chances some left-wing pantywaist at the Senate Foreign Relations Committee is gonna have a fit over this?

From your lips to God's ear, we need the momentum :o)

[river rat]

I still have to wonder... WHY is Arafat STILL ALIVE?
I was betting on his death -- MONTHS ago....
Someone, anyone....Please kill that bastard.

Up Your Jihad A$$es!

That would be appropriate!

Or, "Adios, mo fo's!"

I'm waiting for some Watermelon Green Jihadist enviralists to complain about the blackened sand where the car used to be.

Official: CIA Killed Al Qaeda Suspects in Yemen

November 04, 2002 05:00 PM ET

 

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - A missile fired by an unmanned CIA drone hit a car believed to be carrying suspected al Qaeda members in Yemen Sunday and killed several occupants, a U.S. official said Monday.

The official, who asked not to be identified, told Reuters the American military was not involved in the attack, which reports from Sanaa said killed six alleged al Qaeda members, including a key suspect in a bombing attack on the U.S. warship Cole in Aden two years ago.

"As I understand it, it was an agency drone" that conducted the weekend strike, said the U.S. official, who did not provide any details.

The Defense Department and CIA refused to comment on the incident, but Yemen's news agency reported in Sanaa that a car explosion had killed six alleged members of al Qaeda. The radical Muslin group led by fugitive Osama bin Laden is blamed by Washington for the devastating attacks on America in September of last year.

Hellfire -- When You Care Enough to Send the Very Best!

RQ-1 PREDATOR® HELLFIRE MISSILE TESTS “TOTALLY SUCCESSFUL” [21 Feb 01]

“Capping a three-part series of demonstration flight tests on Feb. 21, Predator successfully aimed and launched a ‘live’ Hellfire-C, laser-guided missile that struck an unmanned, stationary Army tank on the ground at Indian Springs Air Force Auxiliary Airfield near Nellis Air Force Base, Nev.,” said Major Ray Pry, Predator program manager, Big Safari Program Office at ASC’s Reconnaissance Aircraft System Program Office (SPO).

“This first recorded missile launch from a UAV took place on Feb. 16 at approximately 11:05 a.m. Pacific Daylight Time (PDT),” he said. “Equipped with a single, inert Hellfire-C missile, the Predator, using its LOS communication band and infrared ‘Kosovo’ laser-ball, aimed and struck the tank-turret about six inches to the right of dead-center, spinning the turret around about 30 degrees. It made a big, gray dent in the turret— just beautiful.”

Memo to Major Pry: Your weapon system also works just fine on terrorist vehicles.
