Abu Yahya Al-Libi is a rock star in the jihadist world. With his videos and lectures going viral on the Web, he is Al Qaeda's Mr. YouTube.
On Monday, the top Al Qaeda operative reportedly was the intended target of the latest U.S. drone strikes in Pakistan, strikes that have been increasingly unpopular among Pakistanis but successful in recent years at taking out terrorist leaders.
The latest strike reportedly killed eight militants in the tribal region of North Waziristan. U.S. and Pakistani government sources told Reuters that Al-Libi was the intended target, but they could not confirm whether he had been hit.

No idea. Nothing would surprise me however ...these days precious little does. There is a FReeper called War Daddy who told me some years back (maybe 5 or 6) that this would happen ...I would reach a place where nothing would surprise me much. I doubt he can recall it, but I’ve copied him anyways. What he told me occurred around a year or so ago. Nothing much surprises me anymore.
I’ve been *there*, too, for well over a year now.
Ahhh, I remember “The Prisoner” show! Very apt.
Confirmations are coming in, we got him.
Y-E-S!
OK....might be time to capture a big one so we get some real intel!!
Perhaps that is what our Military and Intel would prefer.
Thanks gandalftb.

“You seem to know an awful lot about the business of operating a submarine”, snarls Ferraday.
“I know how to wreck them”

A remake later this year?
I just finished a script for Warner Bros. that’s a remake of ‘Ice Station Zebra’ that’s a big military movie. And I got to go camp out on the Arctic Circle with the Navy and explore those kind of… you know just the lingo and the politics of what’s going on in the arctic right now so it truly is a passport. Like literally Warner Brothers says, ‘Do you want to get on a jet with the Navy and get on a submarine?’ and you’re like, ‘absofuckinglutely!’” says Green.
