West Bank, 20 April (AKI) - The Palestinian son-in-law of al-Qaeda number two Ayman al-Zawahiri was killed during an American bombing in Afghanistan several days ago, the French news agency AFP reports. Family members of Houssam Abdellatif Abu Bakr opened a mourning house for condolence visits in his home village near Jenin in the West Bank, shortly after news of his death was received. Abu Bakr, 32, was married to Fatima Al Zahra'a, a daughter of Zawahiri, and was father to four children, his relatives told AFP.
According to family, Abu Bakr was also "one of the main bodyguards" of Osama bin Laden. His parents, who have been living in Saudi Arabia since the 1970s, received a phone call on Wednesday "announcing the death of their son in an American bombardment in Afghanistan," said his relatives in Yaabad.

Wonder if "Palestinian" means he was a Palestinian or was from Palestine. Would bin laden employ non-arab body guards?

I will be very happy if we hear more about this. I have always wanted to see him come to a bad end even more than Osama.

You know what I hope to see in the afterlife?
I want to see the looks on those poor souls that tortured, killed and threatened people in the name of Allah after they've died and they realize the Koran lied to them and their beliefs were for naught.
