Abu Yahya al-Libi ?

Here’s hoping.

[EyeGuy]

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.

Now known as “Shish Kebab”

[Tijeras_Slim]

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

[The Toll]

Ha, confirm conshmirm. I don’t care if it was the right guy or not. Just another good muslim created.

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.

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.

[Pan_Yans Wife]

Years back, you had a joke about this sort of thing. What was it, again?

[Virginia Ridgerunner]

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

Not anymore.

[hennie pennie]

A "natural" successor to Osama bin Laden?

Perhaps it's his son.

[VOA]

Splattered Islamicist BUMP!!!

[longhorn too]

Wonder how many of his 72 virgins has he got to yet?

[Phlap]

Bring me the head of Osama Bin Laden and bring me nothing else.

US says senior Al-Qaeda figure killed in drone strike

http://news.yahoo.com/s/afp/20091211/ts_afp/usattackspakistanusqaedamissile_20091211205910

WASHINGTON (AFP) – A senior Al-Qaeda leader has been killed in a drone strike in northwest Pakistan, a US official told AFP on Friday.

The person killed was an “upper-tier” figure in the Al-Qaeda network, said the official, who spoke on condition of anonymity.

The raid was part of a growing bombing campaign by the United States against Al-Qaeda and Taliban figures in tribal areas of Pakistan and came amid CBS reports that the man killed was the Al-Qaeda number three, Abu Yahya al-Libi.

The operation did not target Al-Qaeda’s leader, Osama bin Laden, or his Egyptian deputy, Ayman al-Zawahiri, officials said.

Salih al-Inpeciz now, baby!

[SunkenCiv]

...local media says that the strike killed al Qaeda's number 3 in command, Abu Yahya al-Libi... the spiritual successor to Palestinian philosopher Abu Azzam -- and the inspiration for much of Bin Laden's beliefs.

[csvset]

The reports of my demise are greatly exaggerated.

Here's hoping we get him in the next round.

Any pics of this other guy?
