Score one more for the good guys.

Score another loss for the "2nd in Command Group," a large battalion of Al-Q's in Iraq.

One pound = 2.7 kilograms

16 oz. to a pound at 580.00 an ounce.

Equals a huge amount of BLING.

About $80,000 by current standards. Of course the price of gold does increase in times of war. I noticed also the article says nothing about this guy being a 'leader' but hey let's make him the 47th number two. Or would it be the 48th....

At $ 590 per ounce and 35.2 ounces per kilogram it's round about US$ 83,000.
