American al-Qaeda leader also killed?

PESHAWAR: Following unconfirmed reports of killing of a high-profile al-Qaeda commander Abu Laith al-Libi, there are now rumours that an American al-Qaeda militant Adam Gadahn, also known as Azzam al-Amriki, had been killed in the alleged Predator attack by the US on a house in Mirali, North Waziristan, a few days back.

32-year-old Adam Gadahn, who is American citizen belonging to southern California, has been accused by the US of praising the perpetrators of September 11, 2001 attacks on New York and Washington and attending al-Qaeda training camps in Afghanistan and Pakistani tribal areas.

According to sources, American officials who are yet to publicly confirm the killing of Abu Laith al-Libi, had reportedly sharing information with western media that most likely another most wanted figure, Adam Gadahn, has also been killed in the air strike by the CIA-operated unmanned drone on a house in Khushali Torikhel village near Mirali town.

According to sources, the American al-Qaeda militant, who has been reportedly spending much of his time in Afghanistan and Pakistani tribal areas along the Pakistan-Afghanistan border, had reached Mirali for an important meeting with other senior al-Qaeda commanders for planning the so-called spring offensive against US and Nato troops in Afghanistan.

However, there were no details whether he arrived in the town when a house reportedly housing some senior al-Qaeda operatives including Abu Laith al-Libi, was blitzed. US military officials based in Afghanistan are reportedly collecting details about those killed in the attack on the house and in this regard two of their spy planes continued flying over the same area even after the tragic incident.

Local tribesmen, who were kept at bay by hundreds of armed militants from visiting the house until all the bodies, mostly dismembered, were retrieved, said that US spy planes might have taken pictures of the entire rescue operation as well as of the funeral ceremony.

Like US officials, Pakistani authorities have been constantly keeping silence over what had happened in their jurisdictions. It may be recalled that the US State Department had offered US$ one million reward for capture of Adam Gadahn.

However, some military officials felt that declaring Gadahn as dead in the Mirali incident, the US wanted him to speak for his defence or make some telephone calls so that they target him like rest of al-Qaeda operatives.

Good point. Who has a list and pictures.

We need an internet “DECK OF CARDS” advert for Bush and his “War on Terror”.

I have this feeling that both Obama and Clinton have enough baggage to lose the general election. At least that’s my prayer.

Juan McAmnesty will be torpedoed by a New York Times article exposing yet another of his scandalous acts. Huckabee has a closet full as well. We ended up with a real crappy set of candidates on both sides this time. This will be the first election in my lifetime where I loathe all of the choices. Given the 4 crap weasels, Huckabee is the best one on 2nd amendment issues. McAmnesty has the worst record of all 4 in sponsoring leftist legislation. The RATS have both been leftist blowhards with little substantial legislation to their credit. Shrillary's socialist health care grab was a big failure when she first trotted it out.

"Sooooo, anybody here think Adam is getting acquainted with his 72 virgin whatevers at this point in time?"

Unfortunately for Adam and other recent martyrs for islam, the female virgin supply has been depleted so they will now be met by 72 horny male virgins.
