"Al Qaeda commander killed in Pakistan; May have died in missile strike" by Craig Whitlock and Karen DeYoung, Washington Post | February 1, 2008
BERLIN - A senior Al Qaeda commander was killed this week in Pakistan, according to Western officials and an Islamic radical website, marking a rare success in the flagging US and Pakistani campaign to hunt down members of the network....
Just when they needed it, too!
The Western officials declined to give details of how Libi died. But there is evidence he was targeted in a missile strike that killed 12 people early Tuesday in a remote village in northwestern Pakistan. Villagers reported seeing an aerial drone shortly before the attack...
Following previous strikes, US and Pakistani officials have sometimes prematurely claimed the deaths of specific Al Qaeda leaders, only to be proved wrong. Libi's death, however, was also reported yesterday by Al-Fajr Media Center, which distributes Al Qaeda statements on the Internet.
In a eulogy, it said he was "martyred with a group of his brothers in the land of Muslim Pakistan" and lauded his skills as a battlefield commander and a trainer of other fighters.
"He was an artist in what he did," the statement said, according to a translation by the SITE Intelligence Group, a private organization that researches terrorism.
Oh, THEY TRANSLATED the "Al-CIA-Duh" tape, huh?
Now I KNOW this story is COMPLETE BULLSHIT!!!!!!
Libi is the first major Al Qaeda leader known to have been killed or captured in Pakistan in more than two years....
Yeah, what a BENEFICIAL COINCIDENCE for the Musharaff government -- and the breath-on-the-shoulder AmeriKans straining to get troops in those frontier provinces!
The rest of the article was background bullshit for propaganda purposes, so I cut it.
Reader, why should you waste as much time as I do reading crap?
