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.

The glass ceiling Al Quida never talks about.
Laughing and frolicing in a pool of bitter martyr tears.

I doubt they'll have any better luck controlling their "premature" detonations when they get their virgins..... No virgins for work accidents.

Best to keep that to yourself, amigo.
A lot of their work has been in the local paper. Go figure.

The author makes it sound like they were headed to a surprise party when one of the presents exploded! Sounds like they were, but then the surprise ended up being on them, rather than their intended target of our troops, Iraqi government troops, or more likely innocent civilians.

How would you like to be a contestant on "Wheel of Fortune," and get that guy's name. Category of "successful (from a civilized point of view) suicide bombers."

I keep thinking to myself that these guys aren't very good suicide bombers, and then it hits me:
"How does one get the experience to be a good suicide bomber?"
