Iraqi security forces in Mosul have killed a lieutenant of al-Qaida terror boss Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, the US military said on Sunday. Mohammed Salah Sultan, also known as Abu Zubair, was killed on Friday, the US statement said.
The statement said Abu Zubair was a "known member of al-Qaida in Iraq" and an al-Zarqawi lieutenant who was sought for his role in a July suicide bombing of a police station in Mosul in which five Iraqi police were killed.
Abu Zubair was wearing a suicide pack with explosives when he was killed, the US further statement said. "He was also suspected of re-sourcing and facilitating suicide bomber attacks against coalition, Iraqi security forces and Iraqi citizens throughout the country," the statement added.
The statement said that last week, US and Iraqi forces captured three bomb makers and six foreign fighters as well as finding and clearing 101 improvised explosive devices in the Mosul area.

"Abu Zubair was wearing a suicide pack with explosives when he was killed..."
Since we had to kill him, I assume there will be no virgins for him.
GREAT NEWS for the USA.

Libs are probably in mourning over this.
There had been a nagging thought in the back of my mind about Helen Thomas..."Who does she remind me of?"
When I saw all those faces..."Looks like a bunch of penguins" and then I realized, she looks like THE Penguin from the Batman movie.
Got any pics for "separated at birth" layout?
I thought AQ lieutenants sent others out to kill themselves, while they planned and strategized. Must be getting short of volunteer suicide bombers, huh?
OMG! you're right.

Another one bites the dust... I wonder how long Zarqawi's next "lieutenant" will last?
Wearing a suicide vest? Recruiting must not be going too well.
