It is great news. Al-Qaeda has been decimated but the MSM keeps trying to revive them.

Pelosi and Reid deeply saddened. Obama promises reparations to family.

Can someone tell me (please) why Al Queda would annouce these deaths? Short of US confirmation, I wouldn’t beleive it.

They always do because absent the announcement they are not “martyred” by their loving followers.

If you had reservations for the bomb making class scheduled for August 4th-8th, classes have been canceled due to a death in the family.

To make sure they could cover up Zawahiri’s death. If they can get him buried quick like Bin Laden, they can pretend he is alive for years.

Good one.

Why not keep it a family matter? Why let the enemy know that they succeeded....again? That they are making head way in eliminating their target?

AQ loves to ‘honor’ their dead scumbags and they can’t help themselves — it’s pretty much a religious principle for them to blather about the ‘martyrdom’ of each leader they lose — so they can’t help telling us all about it.
