The assistant to Al Qaida's new network chief has been killed in a foiled insurgency strike.

Iraqi security sources said a lieutenant of Al Qaida network chief Abu Ayoub Al Masri was found killed in a car on its way to an insurgency strike. The sources said a bomb inside the car blew up prematurely and killed the lieutenant and three other Al Qaida operatives.

Officials identified the Al Masri aide as Mansour Sulayman Mansour Khalifi Al Mashhadani. The U.S. military confirmed the killing, reported to have taken place in Yusufiyah, west of Baghdad on June 19. U.S.-led coalition spokesman Maj. Gen. William Caldwell said Al Mashhadani was one of the five leading members of the Al Qaida organization. Caldwell said Al Mashhadani was Al Qaida's spiritual leader and a close associate of Al Zarqawi. The spokesman said an Al Qaida cell leader was also killed.

Sometimes, when I hear about these al Qaida lietenants, I am reminded of the old show "the Prisoner," where the number 2 guy is always being replaced...

Ali, do you hear ticking?

Much the same as "Things Teddy Kennedy Won't Drink."

I doubt they'll have any better luck controlling their "premature" detonations when they get their virgins.....

That's ok.

Where they're going they're the virgins.

And it's not going to be nearly as much fun as they expected.

Abu Ayoub Al Masri called his new assistant Mansour Sulayman Mansour Khalifi Al Mashhadani on his cell phone for a progress report. “Hey old buddy Mashhadani, how are things going, Mashhadani, Mashhadani, are you there? Dang cell phone cut me off again.”

don't be so hard on the guy, technically it was a successful suicide bomb...

Do you qualify for Martyr status if you blow yourself up?

It's real simple. No dead infidels, no virgins.

AT least that's what the Imams tell these descendants of cousins marrying cousins for the last one hundred generations.

Little do they know the Imams are in for a surprise when they assume room temperature as well.

Says one Terrorist mom to another (from beneath the veil):

They all seem to blow up so fast, don't they?

The US Army dials all the cell phone numbers in Iraq every so often with just a nano second blip. Boom!

I love that bit

"Aide to Zarqawi's replacement killed by own bomb"

Glad to here that!

[InterceptPoint]

Don't get too excited about this one. As you recall, aides to Zarqawi were $0.10 for 12. It will probably be the same with the new guy.

What's the last thing that goes through a Terrorist before the IED he's sitting on prematurely explodes?

His...[fill in the blank]

Why won't he do it twice? He hasn't got the guts for it.

That headline sure brought a smile to my face.
