U.S. military denies killing al Qaeda leader in Iraq

28 minutes ago

BAGHDAD (Reuters) - The U.S. military on Thursday denied reports it had killed the leader of al Qaeda in
Iraq Abu Ayyub al-Masri.


"There was a raid where we thought he may have been among those killed. We are still doing DNA tests but we do not believe coalition forces have killed al-Masri," U.S. military spokesman Lieutenant Colonel Barry Johnson told Reuters.

Earlier, an Iraqi government source, who did not want to be named, said Masri and three of his aides were killed in the western Iraqi town of Haditha on Wednesday after U.S. forces launched an airstrike and ground assault on a safe house.

Masri's predecessor, Jordanian militant Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, was killed in a U.S. airstrike in June.

Here is the latest on the War on Terror. These were just coming into the AOR right when I was leaving. Too bad for the scumbags that hide near a Mosque with these babies! :D

Rather than taking out half a block (maybe more, I never been on the receiving end of a 500lb bomb or saw the aftermath) these things only have about 36lbs of explosives so they can take out one house at a time. :up:
