"Local adherents of the takfiri ideology, like Sadiq Noor and Abdul Khaliq, have grown strong and spread the word in North Waziristan." the Asia Times reported on Jan. 1. "Former members of jihadi outfits such as Jaish-i-Mohammed, Laskhar-i-Taiba and Lashkar-i-Jhangvi have gathered in North Waziristan and declared Sheikh Essa their ideologue."
Sorry it didn’t format correctly....I know paragraphs are our friends...:-)
Great news any way you cut it.
Zawahari is also from Egypt.
Looks like the bounty system is yielding results.
Good shooting US Navy! (or whoever...)
I know...but I didn’t want to get everyones hopes up again...lets be surprised...:-)
“US drones have launched several strikes on the Pakistan-Afghanistan border targeting members of Osama bin Laden’s network, although Islamabad never confirms such attacks due to issues of national sovereignty.”
I just love that these backwards 6th century Muslim animals are being picked off by 21st century technology that they would have no hope of defending themselves against.
After getting Al Libi and this strike it looks like the intell on the ground is improving which is great. Guess we will have to see who we got this time,but obviously the target was top level Al Queda guys.
One of the rumored hits besides Al Libi last time was that Adam Ghadan was in that area and the Californian had not appeared in any videos since...so here’s hoping!
Paragraps aside, this is a very interesting post.
The tide in Pakistan may have turned.
Good Post any way.
Its gotta mess with their heads.
little bit more here...

btw - Did I miss something? Has the MSM reported the importance of getting al-Libi ?
“However, the officials claimed that there was a seminary near the house, which was used by the militants as a shelter.”
When are these people(religious (sp?))going to learn that you DON’T give permission for a bunch of radical/nutjobs to hideout/use your “seminary/orphanage/church/etc”? I’m sorry, but you’d think they’d learned by now....PC be d+@*$%! if you find their rathole, you take it out, end of discussion.
Their own fault for doing this, you reap what you sow.....
Yeah, maybe those weren’t American missiles, or Pakistani, or any other HUMAN creation. Death rained down on them from...up there...hmmm...could it be...a sign?
“Has the MSM reported the importance of getting al-Libi ?”
Silly me. It killed the MSM to have to report on the death of Mugnieh - they kept the significance of that to a minimum. So, al Libi? .... nothing to see here, move along
Good news in the morning! Brightens my day.
Or that al-Q is wearing out their welcome in Pak about as fast as they wore it out in Iraq
For us to hit them, we had to have somebody on the ground feeding us good intel, somebody who disliked them enough to risk his life (money only does any good if you're alive to spend it)
That’s the one I’m hoping for. But any of the others will look good in the ‘win’ column.
