The leader of a Yemeni al-Qaeda cell has been killed in clashes with security forces, Yemen's state news agency has said.
The agency said the home of the militant, identified by the governor of Yemen's Shabwa province as Abdullah al-Mehdarhad, was surrounded by security forces on Tuesday and that he was killed as a result of an exchange of fire.

...Abdullah al-Mehdarhad, was surrounded by security forces on Tuesday and that he was killed as a result of an exchange of fire. Yemen, the Arab world's poorest nation...Good news, thanks rdl6989. The media spin is evident here though -- oh look, the reason for this outbreak of militancy is poverty. :')

No hostage negotiator.This guy's 'Constitutional Rights' were violated darn it and the USA won't stand for it. One cannot just go around willy-nilly killing 'alleged' terrorists. For all we know these guys were at a Birthday Party.
No chance of surrender offered.
No Miranda Warning
No lawyer.
and
No Arrest Warrant signed by a judge.

Somehow, I can imagine CAIR saying something like that.
Fled, what are they...GAY? What about the 72 virgins?
Why couldn’t it be Zawahiri?
