It’d be good to have confirmation. Who took him out - Pakistan? Good for them, if so.

Praise God! That’s two top Al Queda operatives killed in 10 days.

If they get Osama bin Laden before Election Day, on November 4, it will be another plus for McCain just like the Iraq Surge. They’ll try to make out like they’re happy, but, B. Hussein and the Dems and all the looney-left libs will crap down both legs.

He is supposedly their “chief financial officer” reporting directly to UBL.

Shaikh Saiid al-Masri is said to have opposed the Sept. 11 attacks within the al-Qaeda organization. He argued al-Qaida should honor Taliban leader Mullah Omar’s wishes to attack Jews, not the United States, and that he feared the U.S. response to such an attack.

He served as a member of al-Qaeda’s shura council and economic and legal committees, according testimony government witnesses Jamal Ahmed al-Fadl and L’Houssaine Kherchtou during the 1998 embassy bombings trial.

He worked in al-Qaida’s office on McNimr Street in Khartoum, Sudan, starting on June 9, 1993, according to al-Fadl.

In Sunday, Shaikh Saiid al-Masri managed al-Qaeda’s payroll and paid al-Qaeda members, including al-Fadl, their salaries. He paid al-Fadl $300 a month. Al-Fadl aided al-Masri until he was replaced by Abu Dijana al-Yemeni and Abdallah Lubnani.

Shaikh Saiid told Khertchou there wasn’t enough money to pay $500 to cover his wife’s caesarean section. Khertchou described his reaction in court “if I had a gun I would shoot him at that time.”3,4,5

Who is that guy anyway? I checked Google to see what the heck he's done and all I get are links to the same Reuters story. (and this thread)

Is this guy even a big fish?
