The War: The killing of al-Qaida's 2006 airline bomb plot planner by an American Predator drone is only the latest terror-war victory. From Anbar to Waziristan, they're dropping like flies.
If Rauf believed he had found sanctuary there, he was sadly mistaken. There have been at least 20 such strikes in the last three months as the Bush administration seeks to thwart the ability of militants to fuel the Taliban insurgency in Afghanistan and deny al-Qaida plotters a safe haven.
The attack on Rauf, which also killed Egyptian al-Qaida operative Abu Zubair al-Masri, came within days of another strike in the Bannu district, deeper in Pakistani territory and outside the lawless tribal areas.
Among those killed in that attack, according to Radio Australia, was Abdullah Azam al-Saudi, an Arab whom U.S. intelligence officials identified as the main link between al-Qaida's senior command and Taliban networks in the Pakistani border region.
Rauf was the architect of the "liquid bomb" plot that now forces travelers to limit fluids to 3.5 ounces in carry-on baggies. He was arrested in 2006 in Pakistan in the bomb plot and was headed back to jail in Islamabad after an extradition hearing, when authorities allowed him to stop and pray at a mosque uncuffed.
The plot targeted seven flights from Heathrow Airport in London to New York, Washington, Chicago, San Francisco, Toronto and Montreal operated by United Airlines, Air Canada and American Airlines. The plan was for different passengers to carry peroxide-based liquid explosive in drinks and other containers and detonators disguised as electronic devices and combine them on board.

“The War: The killing of al-Qaida’s 2006 airline bomb plot planner by an American Predator drone is only the latest terror-war victory. From Anbar to Waziristan, they’re dropping like flies”.
A word of advice to would be terrorist bombers:
Our bombs are better than your bombs. If you mess with us, we will seek you out. You will learn firsthand how much better our bombs are.
And just a little reminder:
PAYBACKS ARE A BITCH.
While Obama was talking about invading Pakistan, Bush was doing it. Wonder what Obama is going to do when he rushes in and violates one of our few Islamic allies (if there is such a thing), alienates the entire Ilamic world, and discovers that Osama has been dead for a few years?
I’m sure most of us feel more vulnrable now than ever in thier lives. I have NO faith in our government or the mental midgets in it. A sad time for America. All we can do now is duck!
“won’t see this on MSM”...sure you will. They will be condemning the U.S. for the attacks deep in sovereign Pakistani and Warzistani territory.
Duck? We can do more than that. The Framers left us the Second Amendment for a reason and it wasn’t to go duck-hunting.
If Osama is dead, how long do you think it will be before Obama’s administration blabs it out that the Bush administration kept it a secret?
Journalism at it’s best. A very uplifting article.
ha ha the d*ck head is dead have fun in hell
