State Dept. release

http://www.state.gov/r/pa/prs/ps/2009/03/120862.htm

March 25, 2009

The U.S. Department of State has authorized a reward of up to $1 million for information leading to the location and/or capture of Abu Yahya al-Libi, a prominent member of al-Qa’ida.

Al-Libi, a Libyan citizen, is an Islamic scholar who was captured by authorities in 2002 and imprisoned at Bagram Air Force Base in Afghanistan. Al-Libi escaped in July 2005, and has since appeared in a number of propaganda videos, using his religious training to influence people and legitimize the actions of al-Qa’ida.

Al-Libi is a key motivator in the global jihadi movement and his messages convey a clear threat to U.S. persons or property worldwide. Al-Libi is believed to be in hiding in Afghanistan or Pakistan. More information about al-Libi is located on the Rewards for Justice website (www.rewardsforjustice.net/abuyahya).

Don’t bother to confirm, just keep running their asses into the ground.

Daily.

To the murderous scum that matter, no confirmation is necessary, they get the message.

re: he natural successor to Bin Laden

And so it would seem to me, he is! Bin Laden is dead, and now this guy is too. That’s the kind of successor I like to see when it comes to the enemy camp.

I think I’d rather have “aspiring rapper” in my obituary than “spiritual successor to a Palestinian philosopher”.

I heard news report on the radio this morning that made me want to vomit. In it they implied that the Obama administration is making better use of the killer drones where the Bush administration did not.

They ignore the fact that it was Bush who in 2008 as part of an escalating offensive against extremist targets in Pakistan, authorized deploying Predator aircraft equipped with sophisticated new surveillance and weapons deployment systems to the area.

Not to disappoint you, but from the LWJ:

“While the rumor certainly can’t be discounted, I suspect Abu Yahya al Libi was not in the Ladha region in South Waziristan. The Pakistani military is currently conducting an operation against the Taliban in the Mehsud tribal areas and claims to have occupied Ladha. The senior-most al Qaeda leaders would likely have vacated Ladha and other regions in the Mehsud tribal areas long before the Pakistani Army arrived.”

Why do I have this picture of a 19 year old who has had joy stick in his hand since he was 4, flying a Drone and winning at the computer game of life. We need more of them. They are an untapped resource.

He is very powerful and believed by some to be the natural successor to Bin Laden.

Not anymore.
