Excerpt -
US and Iraqi forces have killed a senior al-Qaeda leader believed to have been behind the kidnapping of the American journalist Jill Carroll and the murder of an American peace activist.There was a swirl of confusion surrounding the killing of Muhared Adbul Latif al-Jebouri in an ultra-violent area of Baghdad, with Iraqi officials initially identifying him as Abu Omar al-Baghdadi, the head of the Islamic State of Iraq, a coalition of extremist Sunni militant groups that has declared a Caliphate in the lawless areas north of Baghdad.
US officials said al-Jebouri’s body may even have been mistaken for Abu Ayyub al-Masri, the al-Qaeda kingpin who Iraqi forces claimed to have killed earlier in the week.
Major-General William Caldwell, the US military spokesman in Baghdad, said al-Jebouri was killed on Tuesday, the same day that al-Masri was said to have been shot, hinting that Iraqi officials had mixed the two leaders up.
“This is the individual that has caused some confusion and was the senior al-Qaeda person killed,” he said. “His was the only body we took at the site.” US officials had refused to comment on al-Masri’s alleged demise, and his corpse was never recovered. Al-Qaeda denied his death.

It is a problem. They all look alike.
So we kill him or Iraqi forces NOT SURE Hal
He killed a peace activist? Hey - this guy wasn’t that bad.
Would all you Gawdforsaken terrorists PLEASE adopt names such as “Frank” and “Jack” so that you may be more easily identified when we kill ou?
Here’s hoping this scum bag says hello to Saddam and his two punk son’s, sneezy and quesey.
Boy, in this line of work you don’t have to worry about a retirement plan.
Not only that, he kidnapped a leftwing journalist.
Frank Al Memphis and Jack Al Chicago....sound better? LOL!
They didn’t get the memo about wearing nametags.
“Hello, my name is... Kenneth Al-Tikriti”
Why don’t we set a “quota” for the Iraqi parliament - when, working together, we kill 50% of the “bad guy” leadership list, the parliament can go on “vacation” for two weeks (while we “refresh” the list).
How racists!
I honestly believe that if we round up our left wing Hollywood types and hand them over to the muzzies, we would satisfy their bloodlust and rid ourselves of a lot of scum. Its a win-win situation.
