Aide to Zarqawi's replacement killed by own bomb
World Tribune ^ | June 21, 2006 | WT

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.

Somehow Amnesty International will find a way to blame it on Guantanamo.

Sounds like it went off just the way it should have. The Virgin Express to hell.

Bummer.

Hope he suffered and took a few of his fellow fanatics with him.

...aides to Zarqawi were $0.10 for 12. It will probably be the same with the new guy.

May each of them wear the Red Shirt.

That was what I was thinking. The "management" is having to the "grunt" work. Looks like desperation to me. Are they running out of "flunkies" to do their bidding...or at least flunkies that they can trust?

< Hmmm, did he have degraded pre-1991 explosives that were no longer suited for their designed intent >

Last night Santorum anh Hoekstra (sp)were on Hannity and Colmes discussing the WMD de-classified info.

Colmes pushed and pushed about "it's really de-graded stuff", "no threat"...blah, blah, blah.

one of them, Santorum or Hoekstra offered something like "ya wanna put one on a shelf in your garage"?

It was sooo funny and made a reality point.

Yeah, it's so degraded that I could just sit it on a shelf in my home.
Yeah, right. /sarc off

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.

Except it sounds as if this guy was one of their "skilled" bomb makers. Maybe not skilled enough, but they don't have all that many of them to begin with. Now they have at least one less. But it sounds like he was delivering the bomb for use by some brainwashed product of the "school" in Pakistan.
