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.

Why don't you redouble your efforts to understand Central Asia and come up with a workable plan to deal with the aftermath of Musharraf's assasination?

Of course, that would require more than angry one-liners, so I won't hold my breath.

Pashtuns, Shias, Sunnis... all just troglodyte Yooks and Zooks. You wanna split hairs about which tribe has more goats than the other, I wanna see bin laden dead.

But I'm real glad you guys are just so gosh darn diddly happy about charging the US Taxpayer and deploying the US Army to secure Pakistan's border, and generally doing dirty work Pakistanis refuse to do.

5 years and billion$ to babysit ungrateful yooks and zooks. Osama's laughing at you.

Got that right Frum. The cultural doo-doo makes no matter. They're all the same crap from the same swamp.
