Al Qaeda leader taken out by 'secret' US missile filled with knives dubbed the 'ninja bomb'

The journey of two senior Al Qaeda-aligned commanders in northwestern Syria on Sunday was suddenly cut short by a targeted U.S.-led strike — only it doesn't appear that they were killed by explosives, but a missile packed with knives.

Video of the aftermath circulating on social media shows that the vehicle of the terrorist leaders – Jordanian Qassam ul-Urdini and Yemeni Bilal al-Sanaani – was mostly untouched, with just one side severed and the roof smashed in, prompting defense analysts to point to the use of a "secret" missile jointly developed by both the Department of Defense and the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA).

It is a variation of the Hellfire anti-tank missile, referred to as the R9X, and internally called the "Flying Ginsu" or the "ninja bomb," and it just might drastically shape the way war is waged given its exactitude and subsequent ability to vastly reduce the risk of collateral damage and civilian casualties.

One of the risks of being a leader is that to lead, you have to communicate a lot, with a lot of followers, and if you communicate, your transmissions can be picked up.

The seats look a little rough too.

The missles packed with forks cause a more lingering death.

Possibly we want them to know. "Cut down" on candidates for leadership positions. Only the really stupid will take the promotion?

"However, is there ever anyone that’s taken out who isn’t a leader?"

That's what good intel, SF and laser designators are for...

(Just don't take the job of driver for a jihadimuzztard "leader"...)

I’d like to see one of these hit a DNC meeting.
