Thanks. These honorifics are a pain in the posterior.
Do you know of somene called al latif?
Just saw a clip from a U.S. press conference on CNN, where they said they had killed an Al Qaeda leader called Al latif who apparently was “information minister” of Al Qaeda in Iraq.
Lots of confusing reports at the moment...
I wish that our military (no hope for the MSM on this one) would stop using these dumbasses’ aliases and start using their real names. Calling them Abu this or Abu that is a sign of respect; respect that we shouldn’t be giving to them. (Abu means “father”.)
Are you sure about that? According to Xinhua, Muharib Muhammad Abdullah is the head of al-Qaeda media office, and his nom de guerre is Abu Abdullah al-Iraqi, and he was killed with a knife by another Sunni group “Islamic Army in Iraq”, not in US-Iraqi joint op.

I think this is a second aQI command leader that died from internecine fight inside Iraq.
