BAGHDAD, Iraq – Coalition forces killed an al-Qaeda in Iraq military advisor during an operation Aug. 31 west of Tarmiyah.
Coalition forces conducted a precision operation west of Tarmiyah Aug. 31. The assault force followed a vehicle containing two suspected terrorists and attempted to get the driver to stop. When the driver resisted capture, the assault force fired on the vehicle. Both the driver and the passenger were killed in the operation. Coalition forces later identified one of the men as Abu Yaqub al-Masri.
Al-Masri, who is also known as Zakkariya or Doctor, was a military advisor to al-Qaeda in Iraq leaders in Baghdad and the surrounding belts. He provided guidance and direction for attack planning, coordination and execution.
Intelligence reports indicate al-Masri was directed by senior al-Qaeda in Iraq leaders to plan attacks that would cultivate sectarian strife. The former al-Qaeda in Iraq military emir of Baghdad, now detained by Coalition forces, described al-Masri as director of the “car bomb division.”
Al-Masri was one of the primary architects behind the Nov. 26 car bombings in Sadr City that killed 181 Iraqi civilians and injured another 247. He also planned major attacks on the bridges in the Rusafa area to isolate the Shi’ite population there.
Al-Masri previously fought against Coalition forces in Afghanistan and is linked to several senior leaders of al-Qaeda. He was allied with Dr. Ayman Zawahiri, bin Laden’s second-in-command. He was also close to Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, the former leader of al-Qaeda in Iraq killed in a Coalition air strike in June 2006.
“Coalition operations are disrupting and destroying al-Qaeda’s terrorist networks,” said Maj. Winfield Danielson, MNF-I spokesperson. “There is nowhere to hide.”
Oh PLEASE oh Please let this be true.
Zarqawi died at least 6 times a year until they finally confirmed that the SOB died in the presence of our troopers.
For the record, Arafat died at least 10 times a year until it was finally confirmed.
doing a search here under keyword AlMasri it looks like we’ve killed a few Al-Masris over the last few months, but this seems to be a new one
Is this the animal that took Zarqawi’s place after our guys zapped him?
Stupid guys...they should’ve stopped now their dead and they’ve stepped into eternity...which will be an awful place for them.......
I’m celebrating them all going out, and I thought this name was familiar, though, we’ll all have to wait to have that clarified, just don’t hold your breath waiting for the Democrat Majority Press to do their job for the country.
Ding Dong DEAD!

Title: AL-QAEDA IN IRAQ LEADER KILLED
Release Date: 9/19/2007
Release Number: 07-01-03P
FR WAR NEWS! Well, it was only right that we should kill some more; after all, we know that Masri loves company.
oh gawd. LOL
Roll ‘em up. And their nasty little senior aides, too.
You win.

Yes.
Thank you RDTF for the ping.
BTTT!
This is not AQ Iraq leader Abu Obaidah Al-Masri......(but he is still one of the guys who has been on the “hit list” for quite some time). Another success for our side.....
FYI: ‘Al Masri’ at the end of an arabic name is not a personal identifier, it is a geographic identifier.
It’ like saying ‘John Doe of Mansfield’...or, ‘of Masri’.
Like ‘Mohamad Izzadine Al Dhouri’ means Mohammed Izzadine of
(the Province of) Dhouri.
Calling him Al Dhouri for short, is like calling Dennis Kucinich “Mr. of Cleveland”.
” Today, Mr. Of Cleveland was reported saying in Syria...”
thanks :)
That is Abu Ayyub .....
Ah Yes, thanks for adding that on, because of Marines, I am going to sleep well tonite. All Secure!
That is Abu Ayyub .....
_______________________________________
And it’s also a safe bet that ‘Abu Ayyub’ is a Nom De Guerre.
;o)
Good news indeed!
Yes, and we need to let them know that.
Jihadi/Left Enabled Rolodex ping...
Al-Masri previously fought against Coalition forces in Afghanistan and is linked to several senior leaders of al-Qaeda.
I’d like to send them all out with a line from Maxine Waters, “Your time, is up!”
Why is this only being reported now? Or am I missing something? He was killed Aug 31, but now it’s Sept 19. Does it take that long to confirm? Or is it just being wary about alerting the other scum?
Just call him another dead islamofascist.
That’s for posting this news. WAY TO GO AMERICAN TROOPS!
Your buds?
Apparently that's a pretty common occurrence when you have AIDS...
BTTT
;0)
Probably not, it seem as though any raghead that is more than a grunt is called "Al Qaeda in Iraq Leader" when he gets whacked.
Note the nuance of the wording, it doesn't say "leader of Al Qaeda in Iraq".
You don’t tell them so they know to run.
Another hero of the left bites the big one.
The Doctor is out!
As I understand it, “Al Masri” means “the Egyptian”.
A lot of the more senior AQ types have come out of the Egyptian radical movement, along with Zarqawi, the plotters of the 1993 WTC bombing, their holy man the blind shiekh, Mohammed Atta, etc. They seem to get much of their best talent there, which isn’t surprising.
AQ types seem to refer to each other by their origins a lot. I suppose it would be typical for them to use their nom-de-guerre + “al Masri”.
But he was an “Abu” - doesn’t that signify an elevated rank?
"Abu" merely means "father of." Some Arabs take the "Abu" title after having a son.
tee hee!
This suggests he wasn't just another foot soldier and that we hit them close to their heart :
"Al-Masri previously fought against Coalition forces in Afghanistan and is linked to several senior leaders of al-Qaeda. He was allied with Dr. Ayman Zawahiri, bin Laden’s second-in-command. He was also close to Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, the former leader of al-Qaeda in Iraq killed in a Coalition air strike in June 2006."
Even if he wasn't THE Obaidah al Masri, AQ Iraq apparently has an opening for director of the “car bomb division.” Hope its a hard-to-fill position. ;-)
Abu Tunehead54
(Jingle Bells)
Kill them all
Kill them all
Make them all be dead.
Blow them up
Beat them down
or shoot them in the head.
>>”Abu” merely means “father of.” Some Arabs take the “Abu” title after having a son.<<
Strangely, “Abu” is the sound I make when I sneeze.
I do sort of wonder about that. Elevating the importance of every non-grunt.
Unfortunately, the neighboring co-worker who had the “card deck” of top terrorist targets - 52, dumbed-down enough - long ago left, so I can’t check to see if this guy’s name is even #52 on that “deck”.
I do know that one of Aymans’ aliases is “the Egyptian’...
along with ‘the Doctor’,and about a dozen others.
BTW: His full name is: Ayman Muhammad Rabaie al-Zawahiri
