Key Al Qaeda Figure Accidentally Blows Himself Up, U.S. Officials Say
FOX NEWS ^ | 05/21/10 | By Mike Emanuel & Justin Fishel & Mike Levine

A man whom the U.S. described as a key figure in Al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula accidentally blew himself up, U.S. military officials told Fox News.

The officials say Nayif Al-Qahtani was "messing with a bomb" when it went off. U.S. officials had been watching him, but Fox News' sources insist the U.S. had nothing to do with his death.

Al-Qahtani was "a vibrant guy linked to ongoing operations planning, and his death will have an impact," one official told Fox News.

An Al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula newsletter was the first to announce his death a week after the United States put terror sanctions on him. The newsletter did not say when it happened but said Al-Qahtani died in Yemen's Abyan province in the south of the country.

Plausible Deniability.

Not guilty. Whatever it is.

I'd half-hoped that that statement would've been followed by "(wink, wink)".

Does he still get the virgins or not?

He gets his 72, all in one big room. They are all permanently twelve years old, and they all have cell phones. These girls do nothing but chatter on the phone with each other, shrieking and giggling at high volume, never sleeping. If he touches a girl, he receives a strong electric shock.

No escape, no silence, ever.

My question is:

Are they flying the flags at half-staff at the White House and the State Department?
