They are falling like flies.

I hope...

Any news on Al-Masri?

And what was the relationship between the two?

And what was the relationship between the two?

According to the Reuters article, they were both members of the "Islamic State in Iraq" terrorist organization. al-Baghdadi was the top leader, and al-Masri was the "war minister".

After al-Zarqawi was toe tagged, al-Masri and al-Baghdadi were the leading candidates to replace him.

Although, as leader of the Shura Council, al-Baghdadi could technically be considered Zarqawi’s boss.

Basically it’s the two highest leaders of al-Qaeda in Iraq dead in the past few days.

...but Harry Reid says the war is still lost.

It's not known, for sure, but it is rumored that their sheep were jealous of each other.
