American forces killed an Al-Qaeda chieftain in the lawless western Iraqi city of Ramadi by destroying his car with a laser guided bomb, the US military said Thursday.
"Rafa Abdul Salam Hamud al-Ithawi, also known as Abu Taha, was the emir of Shamiyyah," it said.
"He frequently harboured foreign fighters who entered Iraq illegally in order to assault innocent Iraqis and coalition forces."
Ithawi was killed on Wednesday along with his driver, "diminishing the al-Qaeda in Iraq network," the statement said.

There was an Abu Taha (or maybe Talha) who was a big time terror leader in Mosul. When they caught him he gave up his entire cell and Mosul cooled off almost overnight.

This sounds like something taken from the IDF's play book on "How to Kill a Terrorist With a Laser Guided Missile." LOL!

Agreed...I cant figure out W on this score. You would think he would not be nearly as PC when it come to taking out the trash in Iraq.
