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.

It was probably an Indian telemarketer dialed the cell phone/detonator number. God, I love this.

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

"Ok, Achmed said to throw the red switch to arm the bomb, right?

No; I think Achmed said to throw the blue switch.

I distinctly remember he said the red switch.

Ok; red it is.
"

Meanwhile, Achmed is visiting his optometrist, who tells him he is color blind.

Premature detonation is always a problem with these people...

I wouldn't exactly call it a problem. ;-)
