Why do you think Muhammad Atef is dead? The FBI site didn't confirm it.

There is lots of conflicting info on these guys. I think Freeper Angelus Errare, who put together much of he info on this list, used whatever reputable info was available.

From the Guardian:

Mohammed Atef

Egyptian militant who rose to the top of the al-Qaida hierarchy

Khaled Dawoud
Monday November 19, 2001
The Guardian

Mohammed Atef, who was killed, aged 57, in an United States air raid near Kabul was, according to US intelligence, the military planner of the Islamist al-Qaida group. US Intelligence also identified him as having masterminded the bombing of its embassies in Kenya and Tanzania in 1998. The US had placed a $5m reward on his head.
