Apparently U.S. forces will be holding a presser later today:
U.S. military spokesman Lieutenant-Colonel Christopher Garver declined to comment on the Interior Ministry’s claim but said a news conference would be held later on Thursday about the “success” of an operation against Sunni Islamist al Qaeda.
He stressed that the topic would not be Abu Ayyub al-Masri, the leader of al Qaeda in Iraq — which is the main al Qaeda network in the country.

Yes, I saw that. I wasn’t suggesting that the presser was going to address al-Masri. I was just engaging in a little hopeful thinking that perhaps later there will be some news on the al-Masri story. I suppose even if a body is or has been recovered it may be some time before there’s any word one way or the other.
