MSNBC talking about him now.

Probably targeting him also (although he has been spotted outside Africa):

Aliases: Sheikh Ahmad Salem Suweidan, Sheikh Ahmed Salem Swedan, Sheikh Swedan, Sheikh Bahamadi, Ahmed Ally, Bahamad, Sheik Bahamad, Ahmed The Tall

This strike is great news, by the way.

--FAZUL ABDULLAH MOHAMMED--

(may he be turned into pasta-fazool dough)

Just getting on this thread now, but if indeed Fazul
Abdullah Mohammed was one of the targets, then Bush
can place another notch in his belt. FAM has been
one of the top fellows Bush has been after. He claims
he has kept a list of these rascals in his desk and
he's been crossing them off one by one. FAM has been
on the FBI's most wanted list since shortly after 9/11.
