East African Operations Chief: I thought Abu Mohammed al-Masri was the guy that just died in the car bomb incident.

Correct, or two guys with the same name?

Yes apparently a different guy. With the limited number of names these guys use (everyone is named Mohammed) and the multiple spellings (you say Usama, I say Osama, You say Mohammed, I say Muhammed etc etc) it makes just keeping track of these guys dificult.

BTW, I heard that in the days following 9/11 the FBI and CIA had a terrible time trying to co-ordinate because there was no common spelling methodology.
