Well, this is embarassing.

U.S. posts wrong photo of ‘al-Qaida operative’

...[f]or a year and a half, the U.S. government has been asking for the public's help in finding Midhat Mursi al-Sayid 'Umar, also known as Abu Khabab al-Masri, a dangerous al-Qaida operative. But now intelligence officials admit to NBC News they were using a photo of a different man...

The good news is it likely doesn't matter, thanks to this Damadola strike. [grin]

Dead body of any Al-Qaeda member in Bajaur not found: Shaukat Sultan

ISLAMABAD: Pak Army Spokesman Major General Shaukat Sultan Tuesday said that Pakistan Security forces did not yet find any dead body of any Al-Qaeda militants in the US airstrikes on Bajaur.

He stated this while talking to VOA in Islamabad, saying officials were investigating the numbers and identities of the Al-Qaeda militants killed in the attack.

To a question, he responded that Pakistani security forces were searching Al-Qaeda No 3 Aiman Al-Zawahairi in the rugged Pakistan mountainous areas.

He said efforts were in full swing aimed to arrest terrorists hide in the country and important targets for the country military were Al-Qaeda top commanders.
