ISLAMABAD (AFP) — An Egyptian Al-Qaeda operative described by the United States as the terror network's propaganda chief was killed in a missile strike in Pakistan, security officials said Saturday. Abu Jihad al-Masri was among several rebels killed when two missiles fired by a suspected US spy drone hit a truck in the North Waziristan tribal region bordering Afghanistan on Friday night, they said. The United States has offered a one-million-dollar bounty for the death or capture of al-Masri, who has appeared in an anti-Western video introduced by Ayman al-Zawahiri, Osama bin Laden's number two. "The strike was aimed at a vehicle carrying Abu Jihad and two others. The target was successfully hit and all three people were killed," a senior Pakistani security official told AFP on condition of anonymity. His death came in one of two separate missile attacks in Pakistan's troubled tribal belt on Friday, the latest in a series of 18 strikes in the past three months that have raised tensions between Washington and Islamabad.

Read the headline and thought something happened at the DNC.

Talk will be spun to produce antiwar propaganda.
The MSM is our enemy as surely as the exterminated vermin in this article. Antiwar is anti America
The animal was hunted down and shot from an aircraft. The libs aren’t gonna like this one bit.
Yes, condolences to the Obama’s.
LOL. This is worse than “shooting wolves from a helicopter”
Oh, the horror, the horror......
:^)
That is excellent news.
I’m sure he’s got something in the file to propagandize about in case of his own death.
The good news is, the files probably also became, uh, inoperative.

Yea US military teams. We sure have been getting some good news of lately. It sure would be nice to hear before GWB leaves office about the “tall one” being captured alive but I would settle for a few more HVTs that actually run the show.
