Nos genuflectitur ad non princeps sed Princeps Pacem!
Listen, O isles, unto me; and hearken, ye people, from far; The LORD hath called me from the womb; from the bowels of my mother hath he made mention of my name. (Isaiah 49:1 KJV)

An airstrike Sunday killed a top al-Qaida leader on the FBI's most wanted list for his role in the 2000 bombing of the USS Cole warship, Yemeni officials said. The drone attack was carried out by the CIA, U.S. officials said.
Fahd al-Quso was hit by a missile as he stepped out of his vehicle, along with another al-Qaida operative in the southern Shabwa province, Yemeni military officials said. They were speaking on condition of anonymity in accordance with military regulations.

Al-Quso, 37, was on the FBI's most wanted list, with a $5 million reward for information leading to his capture. He was indicted in the U.S. for his role in the 2000 bombing of the USS Cole in the harbor of Aden, Yemen, in which 17 American sailors were killed and 39 injured.
He served more than five years in a Yemeni prison for his role in the attack and was released in 2007. He briefly escaped prison in 2003 but later turned himself in to serve the rest of his sentence.
A telephone text message claiming to be from al-Qaida's media arm confirmed al-Quso was killed in the strike.
Al-Quso was also one of the most senior al-Qaida leaders publicly linked to the 2009 Christmas airliner attack. He allegedly met with the suspected Nigerian bomber, Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab, in Yemen before he left on his way to execute his failed attack over Detroit with a bomb concealed in his underwear.

Wouldn’t it be better to wipe out all the privates too so there is no one left to promote?
It’s apparently The Will of Allah.
Good news!
I believe we will see a ramping up of strikes
before November. Got to keep up the image.
“Yet even as Yemeni officials were announcing Mr. Quso’s death, American officials said they needed a few days to confirm what they said was a drone strike and any casualties.”
Sounds like he’s only mostly dead.
he may be head of the Military but he knows diddly shit about how military runs and operates...
others do the work that Hussein takes credit for...
What nice news to cap off a wonderful weekend.
Would have been 24 at the time of the Cole bombing...seems a little young to run a major operation.
O well...even collateral damage is damage.
I understand Obama, himself, was controlling the joystick and the button that launched the weapon that killed the perp. What a hero!
Remember the USS Cole!
You're so right. Unfortunately today's America has been dumbed down so much by the public school system and continued education (A LA Mainstream media) they'd never know the difference if it weren't for people like you posting the truth.
Good point. Probably need killing, though. Let Allah sort them out.
I wonder if there was a nose camera and it caught him dropping a deuce just before the final curtain fell.
Excellent!
Needs photoshopping to a limp-wristed version.
Sweet!
