U.S. Special Forces killed Al Qaeda's (search) No. 2 terror mastermind in Iraq (search), Defense Department officials say.

FOX News has confirmed that Abu Azzam (search), who was believed to have been in charge of the financing of terrorist cells in the war-torn country, was killed during a raid in Baghdad Sunday. Azzam is thought to be the top deputy to Abu Musab al-Zarqawi (search), Iraq's most wanted terrorist.

Azzam is the latest in a series of top Zarqawi deputies that been killed or captured by coalition forces in recent months

That's about 100 by my count.

Sheesh!

Reminds me of the old TV show The Prisoner:

The Prisoner: Where am I?
Number 2: In The Village.
The Prisoner: What do you want?
Number 2: Information.
The Prisoner: Which side are you on?
Number 2: That would be telling. We want information, information, information...
The Prisoner: You won't get it.
Number 2: By hook or by crook we will.
The Prisoner: Who are you?
Number 2: The new Number 2.
The Prisoner: Who is Number 1?
Number 2: You are Number 6.
The Prisoner: I am not a number. I am a free man.
Number 2: Ha, ha, ha, ha....

#2's are a dime a dozen.

[konaice]

Hmmmm, Another Nine Lives guy.....

Abu Azzam: Captured 19 March 05. Responsible for conducting VBIED operations as well as coordinating logistics

And then again...

Allegedly, one of the men, 20-year old Mansour al-Hameed (a.k.a. "Abul-Hajer", "Abu Azzam") was responsible for a July 27 suicide bombing operation by Al-Qaida's Al-Baraa bin Malik Martyrs Brigade targeting Iraqi National Guard troops in Al-Azamiyah that killed ten people and wounded at least nine others.

Good news.

[Sometimes A River]

Mother Sheehan is very saddened.

"Are we are #1 in the #2 business?"

We caught Saddam. He was a #1 at one time.

[ItsForTheChildren]

Poor Abu Musab's gonna be doubly mad now that his lover is dead.

[keats5]

Who is #2, now that we got him?

[bert]

.....That's about 100 by my count.....

But most were No 3, this was one of a few no 2's.

The most important day of his life was when he got promoted to No 2 and out of the deadly no 3 slot.
