Gadahn death rumors continue to surface

As US and Pakistani intelligence attempted to determine who else might have been killed in the Jan. 29 US airstrike in North Waziristan that took the life of al Qaeda commander Abu Laith al Libi, a new, unconfirmed report claimed Adam Gadahn, Laith's American deputy, died in the strike, as did two Kuwaitis and four other terrorists.

Sources inside Pakistan told the Nine/Eleven Finding Answers Foundation that US traitor Adam Gadahn was killed, along with Abu Suhail, Laith's former deputy; Hamza al Somali, who is presumably of Australian or US nationality; Abu Ubayda Tawari Rakhis al Mutairi, a Kuwaiti national; Abu Adil al Kuwaiti, another Kuwaiti; and at least three Uzbek nationals. "It should be noted that the death of the American Gadahn has not yet been officially confirmed," the Nine/Eleven Finding Answers Foundation reported.

Adnkronos International said Feb. 5 that Abu Adil al Kuwaiti was reported killed in the North Waziristan airstrike, along with Abu Obeida Tawari al Obeidi, a Saudi.

Speculation about Gadahn's death surfaced immediately after the airstrike, as Pakistani sources told US and Pakistani news agencies that Gadahn had not been seen or heard from since the strike. Gadahn was purportedly attending the meeting chaired by Laith, who was planning al Qaeda's 2008 campaign in Afghanistan.

Al Qaeda has been quick to lionize the death of its leaders, for propaganda and recruiting reasons. Laith's death was announced on a jihadi Internet forum within three days of the airstrike in North Waziristan.

Re Gadan as “worm food.” As the unofficial spokesman for millions of honest, hardworking American worms, I can say on their behalf that they would never eat a slime bucket like Gadan.

He is “treif”, not “kosher”.

Even Pakistani worms would declare him “non-halal”.

May he rot in pieces.

Moles try to keep a low profile and don’t become media spokesmen. Additionally, Gadhan converted at age seventeen and got in trouble for fighting in his mosque. Not typically the profile of someone the CIA would recruit. Finally, the CIA can’t keep anything secret anymore.

Well one thing our guys can do is to drop Daisy Cutters on suspected Al Q hideouts and hopefully those will wipe out yards and yards of Islamofascists.

He died of syphillis, which he contracted from al Zawahri.

When those really elementary video’s stop showing up on the net in the next 6 months that’ll be a clue he’s not around in this world any longer. Long gone living now in a hot place for all eternity. Oppss

"Has anyone considered the possibility that Gadahn may have been a CIA mole and has now disappeared after giving up intel that allowed a strike at high value targets?"

No sane people have...

Reputedly, the self loathing Jew from the Lost (stupid) Tribe of Israel was killed when a donkey violently rejected his amorous attention...

Thanks Dog, for your "dogged" persistance on this and other reports on the WOT on the Roof of the World.

They are much appreciated.

I hope he's dead.

He was also involved in a plan to bomb gasoline stations back east.

Wow. It’d be nice to get some computer geeks from our intelligence agencies on the inside......

Oh, Heavens, surely there were some that were spewing that line before they ever thought he might be dead. Libs ALWAYS make excuses for the world’s misfit despots and terrorists.

Man, that would be fabulous, but I don't give the CIA that much credit. They're still stuck on stupid Valerie Plame’s game.

Well, it was just a thought. Would be nice if the U.S. would re-establish human assets like they did before Billy Jeff dismantled that program.

I absolutely agree, but I think the CIA is so mired in liberal politicos, that we may NEVER be able to really count on them to collect meaningful intelligence.

When Billy Jeff disassembled, he really disassembled! I think, probably, one of the last CIA agents we had that recruited “human assets” was Bob Baer-—and the Clintoon tried to have him arrested for attempting to murder Saddam Hussein. That's why Baer is no longer in the CIA. Can you believe it?

I’d be glad to help if you didn’t mind a chubby sixty-something female “chiming in”.

I’m pretty good with those well placed kicks between the big toes!!

All we’ve heard is Zawahiri making his typical lame threats but he did confirm that his boy, Al Libby is now mush.

al Zawahiri made videos giving eulogies to al Libi - right after al Libi went to his virgins - may they all be Helen Thomas look-a-likes.

Since the last dooryard call - targeting very HVT's - that carried much more ordinance than the al Libi bomb - has there been a peep from al Zawahiri? He was the top HVT thought to've been there.

However, confirming would be next to impossible at this time due to: eyeball ID impossible - too many little parts...and bodies, or parts, were hastily buried by locals and we had no boots on the ground, locally...so no way to get forensic materials.

We may never have proof of his demise - and can only surmise it if we never hear from him again.

Given his character and penchant for letting his followers know he's still breathing - and nah-nahing the world to that fact - his loud silence gives me hope his 'parts' were hastily buried.

I’d like to say I’m shocked. Unfortunately I can’t. Nothing the Clintoons did during their 8 year reign of stupidity surprises me anymore (and that’s the part that is unbelievable).
