One of al Qaeda's top chemical and biological weapons experts was killed in an air strike by a CIA pilotless drone in a remote Pakistani border region, senior Pakistani intelligence officials told CBS News Tuesday morning.
Intelligence officials investigating the Sunday night missile attack confirmed that Midhat Mursi al-Sayid Umar, also known as Abu Khabab al-Masri was one of six men killed and his remains had been positively identified.
"We now have a positive ID on the body. I can confirm to you that Al-Masri has been killed,"

Confirmed, ping.
Cool. Whether it be human intel or signal intel, somehow we’re getting a fix on these a-holes.
The world’s a better place today.
Nice shootin’, CIA.
Additional from your link: "I can confirm to you that Al-Masri has been killed," a Pakistani intelligence official told CBS News on the condition of anonymity.
DITTO.
What a disappointment.
I would like to see OUR intelligence make the confirmation.

grilled khabab
Dr. BOOM, now
YIPPIE!!!
Exactly. Paki intel and armed services are filled with sympathizers. After an autopsy by US military I might believe.
Seems to me that an occasional Hellfire missile in your bedroom is reason to be concerned about the hospitality of the host country.
The Taliban got the Pak government to treat the Tribal Region as autonomous and for the Pak military and police to stay out. They didn’t count this also meaning that the Pak government would not get upset at the US operating in and above the region
Nice, keep the drones flying as they have done a fantastic job exterminating many of these terrorists.

DECEMBER 2003 NEW YEAR’S EVE : (MIDHAT MURSI aka MIDAAT MURCI DIRTY BOMB PLOT— See HEZBOLLAH) WASHINGTON - U.S. intelligence agencies have launched a worldwide manhunt for al Qaeda’s master bombmaker, who may be building a “dirty” bomb and other new devices for terror attacks inside the United States, sources said.
U.S. counterterrorism officials told The Post it was new information about the activities of Egyptian-born bomb maker Midhat Mursi, in part, that led the Bush administration to secretly dispatch Department of Energy radiological detection teams to New York and four other cities over New Year’s Eve [2003].

There are some lonely female goats tonight in that area.
They are probably lonely and happy to be so.
LOL. Oh, what will those poor forsaken goats do without their main ‘serviceman’???
“LOL. Oh, what will those poor forsaken goats do without their main serviceman???”
Probably live a full and happy goat’s life munching on alfalfa, oats and honey with out being bothered by that ugly rotten Bastard anymore.
Now they call him Shish Kabab Al-masri. I wonder if martyrdom is as hip among Al Qaeda types as it used to be.
