US strike kills senior al-Qaeda leader in Yemen
The Telegraph ^ | 12:28AM BST 08 May 2015 | By AFP

A US air strike in Yemen has killed the senior Al-Qaeda official who appeared in a video claiming the deadly January attack on French magazine Charlie Hebdo.

Nasser bin Ali al-Ansi, who was killed in the April strike along with his eldest son and other fighters in the port city of Mukalla, also appeared in Al-Qaeda videos claiming the holding and death of US hostage Luke Somers, SITE Intelligence Group said.

The announcement of his death came in a video posted on Thursday on Twitter by Al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula - which Washington considers the international terror network's deadliest branch.

The air raid appears to have been carried out overnight on April 21-22, when witnesses in Mukalla said an apparent US drone strike on a vehicle parked near the presidential palace in the city killed six suspected Al-Qaeda militants.

He kills just enough terrorists so that those who WANT to remain asleep can tell themselves: "He can't be a Muslim because he kills Muslims."

"He can't be a Muslim because he kills Muslims."

It's almost funny. Throughout history, Muslims have killed an awful lot of Muslims. But, today, it does seem like Obama's weak efforts do have a lot of people fooled.

Perhaps the most shocking revelation is how deep the Soviet Communist network has embedded itself into American political and educational culture.

McCarthy didn't get a bad rap by accident.

It was to keep anyone else from trying to ferret out the spies, agitators, propagandists, and their fellow travelers.

*YAWN*

Seven years ago, this would have been reported as a strike on a wedding party.

Now since a Demorat is president, it’s always a “senior” leader....

Unless he’s being traded for a US traitor, then he’s just another soldier captured on the battlefield wanting to get home to feed his family.

Probably a senior leader who would not be free except that prez. Asshat released him from Gitmo.

——The United States is the only country that operates drones over war-torn Yemen.-—

Where do they land?

Can drones fly from Djibouti to Yemen?

And today the "Senior Leader" was born in Kenya, and the democrats KNEW IT.
It's there for anyone who wants to take the time to find it.
The Arab-Kenyan Barack Hussein Obama II, (a.k.a. Barry Soetoro), ( the one guilty of TREASON ! ) has NO legitimate Social Security Number.
His father was NOT an immigrant to the United States.
Barack Obama Sr. was a "Transient Alien" because he did NOT intend on residing in the United States permanently.
Barack Obama Sr. was a dual citizen of Great Britain and Kenya, and NEVER a United States Citizen.His mother could NOT impart U.S. citizen to her son, Barack Obama II, because she did NOT meet the legal requirements to do so, at the time her son was born IN the Coast Provincial General Hospital, MOMBASA, KENYA at 7:21 pm on August 4, 1961.
Democrats knew this and tried to eliminate the "Natural Born Citizen" requirement at least 8 times BEFORE Obama won his election in 2008.

Obama is NOT a United States Citizen, and is NOT a LEGAL IMMIGRANT.
He has no VISA allowing him into this country.
Barack Hussein Obama II IS ILLEGAL !
He should be IMPEACHED IMMEDIATELY, tried for TREASON, SENTENCED to death, and then have his body deported back to Kenya.


Here's you some more sources and FACTS.

People can go to www.scribd.com and read their pages 20 thru 32 ,


For those of you who don't know, remember this:
8 Congressional attempts from June 2004 to February 2008 to alter Article II Section 1 Clause 5 of the US Constitution, proves to meRead it for yourself.
Then look at these links.
Just before the 2008 election Barack Obama's election team spent $1.4 million blocking access to all of Obama's records.

Barack Hussein Obama II is UNCONSTITUTIONALLY QUALIFIED.
There were 8 attempts by Democrats to try to "Change the Qualification Rules" BEFORE Obama was elected.
They KNOW Obama's ILLEGAL ... AND .... UNQUALIFIED!
