Sky News Update:

Terror Chief 'Killed In Internal Battle'

Updated: 09:59, Tuesday May 01, 2007

The leader of al Qaeda in Iraq has been killed, Iraq's Interior Ministry has said.

Abbu Ayyub al Masri was killed in an "internal battle", according to the ministry.

However, there is no independent confirmation of the report.

Brigadier-General Abdul Kareem Khalaf told the Reuters news agency: "We have definite intelligence reports that al Masri was killed today."

Another source in the ministry also said al Masri had been killed, Reuters said.

The US military has not confirmed the reports - but it has a $5m bounty on the terror chief's head.

There has been increasing friction between Sunni Islamist al Qaeda and other Sunni Arab insurgent groups in Iraq.

Local groups are said to be angered over al Qaeda's indiscriminate killing of Iraqi civilians.

Al Masri, an Egyptian, assumed the leadership of al Qaeda in Iraq after Jordanian militant Abu Musab al Zarqawi was killed in a US air strike in June 2006.

The US military has described al Masri, also known as Abu Hamza al Muhajir, as a close al Zarqawi associate.

This from al Guardian:

Security experts say he became a terrorist in 1982 when he joined Ayman al-Zawahiri's Egyptian Islamic Jihad. He probably entered Iraq in 2002, before al-Zarqawi, and may have helped establish the first al-Qaida cell in the Baghdad area.

Entered Iraq in 2002? Hmmmmm ...

I wonder if the Guardian realizes that it just refuted the democraps claim that no terrorists existed in Iraq before our troops went there.

A good day for those fighting for freedom in Iraq, and a bad day for liberals everywhere.

"Al Masri, an Egyptian, assumed the leadership of al Qaeda in Iraq after Jordanian militant Abu Musab al Zarqawi was killed in a US air strike in June 2006."

This Islamofascist Serial Killer didn't last a year after his homo pig bro bought the dirt farm last year. This calls for a quick review of that great day last year, Z Pig bought the farm.

Below is a quick summary of Z Pig's last day and what his replacement, Abu Ayyub al-Masri faced:

Z Pig, Monster was betrayed by his closest allies (Zarqawi location tipped off by captured deputies) {Why the libs don't want WOT prisoners questioned!} Abu Ayyub al-Masri, which one of your closest allies will turn you in for the money that will be offered for your death?

"Na na na na, na na na na, hey hey...!"

Hi. My name is Abu Boohoo Zarqawi and I'm dead now.

Happy Iraqis celebrate the death of Z Pig:

Some more. "What is good for Americans and Iraqis, is bad for al Qaeda Serial Killers and their Democrat buddies..."

When the Z Pig entered hell, he found out that his 72 virgins were clones of Helen Thomas. They are having their way with him now.

Abu Ayyub al-Masri, son of a pig wants to be the next Z Pig? Abu Ayyub al-Masri, our warriors will find your "Safe House" after your buddies roll over on you. Then our warriors will send you to hell to be with the original Z pig! Your 72 Helen Thomas Virgins are waiting for you.

No Problem! Here comes your Bomb!

Abu Ayyub al-Masri and other Z Pig replacements! Enjoy your eternity in hell with your special 72 virgins!

Hang in there beloved Zarkman. I will be joining you in hell soon! Love Cindy!

Many of us thought that Z’s serial killer Islamofacist replacement wouldn’t survive a year.

He didn’t!

Expect a lot more dirt buying by top al Qaeda serial killers after what happened in Saudi Arabia recently and of course the death of this pos. Events like these usually mean a lot of great intel is now ours to follow up and to kill more al Qaeda Serial Killers.
