Abu Suleiman al-Otaibi, formerly one of the group's leaders in Iraq

The rats have fled the sinking ship.

Seems Elvis left the building six months ago....makes me wonder where Abu Masri calls home now.

[Winged Hussar]

Well, now he is a GOOD Al Qaida member.

Precisely. You noticed the big news in this event, an indicator that will be duly ignored by the MSM. If they even notice it.

killed in a "fierce battle with the worshipers of the cross"

One of the most underreported salient facts about al-Qaeda is how frequently they describe their enemies as "worshipers of the cross." It's a constant element in their public communications. Yet no matter how many times al-Qaeda makes clear their motivations, the mainstream media, the fingers-in-their-ears Left and the Ron Paul Right will continue to tell us that it is our arrogant policies and our arrogant president which make us their enemy.

al-Yazid said Qahtani left Iraq about six months ago without giving further details.

The rats have been blown off of the sinking ship.

Only to be blown up with the other sinking ship.

[ikez78]

Does this mean he went from “fake” al Qaeda to “real” al Qaeda by going from Iraq to Afghanistan?

[Hoodat]

Bush’s fault.

Great news. ;o)

Abu Suleiman al-Otaibi. Just as I thought, a Saudi close to some Wahhabi clerics. Wonder if I can find his name linked with Abdullah ibn Jibreen. I think that there was an Otaibi that was a son in law of Abdullah ibn Jibreen.
