WASHINGTON (CNN) -- A senior al Qaeda terrorist active in operational planning and training has been killed, a Western official said Thursday.
He identified the terrorist as Abu Laith al-Libbi.
The official said al-Libbi is "not far below the importance of the top two al Qaeda leaders" -- Osama bin Laden and Ayman al -Zawahiri.

Cant be true. CNN would never report good news in the WOT.
Anyone keep track of how many Al Qaeda #3’s have been killed? I can’t imagine it’s a particularly lucrative position, the middle management of terrorists if you will. The health plan certainly seems to suck.
Ping!
Damn.
Well, better than nothing.
Enough with Number 3. We’ve tagged a lot of number 3’s. I want #1, and I want #2, and if that means illustrating to the world what a weak and ineffectual jackball Musharraf is, then let it be done. If he can’t find huge armies of terrorist encampments, he’ll never find a small group of rangers picking of scumbags at random.
Just when he was about to get promoted to #2.
Fitzgerald really drove Scooter around the bend didn't he?
Reminds me of that old Libby’s jingle...
If it says Libbi Libbi Libbi on the label label label then you’ll like him splattered all around the cave’l cave’l cave’l if it’s libbi libbi libbi on the LABEL LABEL LABEL!!!
Woo Hoo!!
Al Qaeda: We were extremely impressed with your resume and we would like to offer you the position of Chief Operating Officer.
Recruit: Um, wait a minute. Isnt’ that third in command?
Al Qaeda: No no, you’re an executive! Your picture goes right here under mine and Bin’s...
Recruit: Making me third in command. The guy that always gets wasted. No thanks.
Al Qaeda: No! It’s more like second in command...just behind two people instead of one! Don’t go! I haven’t told you about the free camel racing tickets!
Life is good...
Eh? Not that kind of libbi?
*nevermind*
and he had such a good shot at being #2 too.. oh well..
good hunting!
I used to eat their yogurt straight out of the can as a kid.
lol — kind of like interviewing for “crewmember with the red shirt” on Star Trek.
Okay, so how many more of these Number Threes do we have to dispatch before we really commence with the mother of all housecleanings?
Where's it say they consider it good news?
Abu Laith al-Libbi was #3 but he is #2 now.
Who’s got the pig blood embalming fluid?
They’re all ‘number twos’ to me...
