Omar's Pappy (barging in): "Son, don't you realize if you keep doing that, you'll go blind??

Omar: "But Pappy, Abdullah told me I'd only lose sight in one eye if I just used my left hand!"

Pappy(running into a wall): "Now they tell me..."

Here is confirmation from another source in Pakistan.
From PAKNews

ISLAMABAD, Pakistan : March 30 (PNS) - Director General ISPR, Major General Shaukat Sultan Monday said Chief of al-Qaeda intelligence was killed during the recent operation in South Waziristan.

"It has also been confirmed that Abdullah who was the chief of al-Qaeda intelligence was killed in that operation," he told reporters at a foreign office briefing here. The DG ISPR said he did not have any other details about the man, including his full name. ISPR on Saturday had announced that Tahir Yoldeshev , one of the top al-Qaida leaders had been injured during the operation and was now on the run and hiding somewhere. He said according to independent sources, Yoldeshev was number 10 in the al-Qaida hierarchy.

He said the recent operations in South Waziristan Agency are part of Pakistan's efforts to root out terrorism in all its manifestations from its territory. "It is a continuing effort by Pakistan against criminals, outlaws and terrorists who have found sanctuary any where in Pakistan. The Government's commitment to Pakistani society and International community to fight terrorism makes it incumbent upon us to take on this menace frontally," he added.

The DG ISPR said these extremist elements, though small in number, have a negative impact on the society and create insecurity amongst the masses. "We can no longer ignore this problem and allow it to become a monster destroying the fabric of our moderate society. We have to tackle it with firmness and resolve," he added. He said during the ongoing efforts against terrorism in the country outlaws have been apprehended from various parts of the country. Same efforts will continue throughout the country including tribal areas till these areas were cleaned up of all such elements, he added.

The End.

Doesn't pass the "Head On A Stick" test.

From now on, the only reports of "killed", "injured" or "trapped" Al Qaida or Talibs I'm going to believe are those accompanied by pictures of the head of the subject in question on a stick.

Not again. Lets see the DNA.
