Terror Chief 'Killed In Internal Battle'

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.

(chuckle!) That’s HELL-FUNNY! Thanx for the laugh!
That blank stare in the photo is priceless. He looks STUNNED. Sorta like he’s trying to do the Charles Manson thing, except a couple vaccuum tubes have somehow burned out in his noggin. Or maybe his Upstairs has done the bolt entirely...
Yup. Stunned it is...
Why should we house these idiots? Iraq can create their own Club Gitmos. There's a lot of sun, soccer, volleyball, and a bunch of HO's running loose if they are really bored.
lol, unc
The DNC Flag has been lowered to Half Staffed for the loss of one of their leaders.
Pray for W and Our Freedom Fighters
Katy Colic will probably be crying to night if she discusses this sad possibility for the DNC.

After a hard day’s waterboard surfing, these scroats will need a vacation. And their mates whom they have ratted out will be more-than-keen for a reunion. They tell me Cuba is a top holiday spot, and Gitmo is The Destination of choice for orange jumpsuit-clad criminal terrorist scroats needing a reunion with the guy who ratted ‘em out.
And, if they run amuk, merely open the gates and let Castro’s lads deal with ‘em. They deserve each other...
And besides, the HO’s you describe in your post look more like Ninjas than paramours. Doesn’t sound like too much fun to me! You need to develop more Compassion for The Enemy... lighten up, ay! /s
My French is really terrible.
FR WAR NEWS!He’s got a law degree. I guess when you’re that helpless looking you better have the law on your side. Prototypical democrat Reid. He’s the model. If we were to try and create liberal man in the laboratory we still wouldn’t be able to tamp down on the testosterone and muscle mass enough to replicate Harry - 21st century democrat man.
It’s getting testy around the al-badda-bing. Did someone forget to bring canolis?
Thanks, Rat.
It’s the black gold...Texas tea that’s getting it on, hooray.
I knew the “Surge” was working when the news turned to all Anna Nicole, all the time.
Bread and circuses, for those who are easily distracted.

Here's hoping that was meant to be taken literally.
“Pelosi, Reid, Murtha, et al will be wearing black today. Their counterpart in Iraq is dead.”
Don’t forget Katie Couric.......
“Sorry, militants now are saying he is safe.”
And Osama Bin Lauden is on the beach in Cannes....
It’s not what you couls call a good career move. Oh sure the perks are great, the money is good, but you’ve long hours, always moving around, and then there’s always the good likelyhood that you’ll get KILLED. So all in all it seems to me there are better careers to get into.
