US says senior Al-Qaeda figure killed in drone strike

WASHINGTON (AFP) A senior Al-Qaeda leader has been killed in a drone strike in northwest Pakistan, a US official told AFP on Friday.
The person killed was an “upper-tier” figure in the Al-Qaeda network, said the official, who spoke on condition of anonymity.
The raid was part of a growing bombing campaign by the United States against Al-Qaeda and Taliban figures in tribal areas of Pakistan and came amid CBS reports that the man killed was the Al-Qaeda number three, Abu Yahya al-Libi.
The operation did not target Al-Qaeda’s leader, Osama bin Laden, or his Egyptian deputy, Ayman al-Zawahiri, officials said.
Good shooting, Dick Cheney! ;-)
Rats!!!

(CBS) Sources tell CBS News the al Qaeda operative believed killed in a drone strike in Pakistan this week is Saleh al-Somali, who was in charge of external operations for the group. He was considered one of a half dozen top Qaeda operatives.
Saleh al-Somali’s position as al Qaeda’s external operations boss means he was in charge of plotting against the U.S. and Europe, reports CBS News national security correspondent David Martin.
And we had him once...
Think positive!
Definitely a worthwhile target.
Salih al-Inpeciz now, baby!
Another image of the purportedly killed high value AQ target, which now is being reported as an entirely different person identified as Saleh al-Somali.
Oh yeah. He’s a keeper, a Top 6er supposedly.
