Remember that we heard many times that Osama bin Laden was dead, and that Adam Gadahn was dead, only to see them pop up again, so take this one with a grain of salt. "Yemen says Fort Hood-linked imam may be dead," for Reuters, December 24 (thanks to Patrick Poole):
SANAA (Reuters) - A Yemeni air raid may have killed the top two leaders of al Qaeda's regional branch on Thursday, and an American Muslim preacher linked to the man who shot dead 13 people at a U.S. army base may also have died, a Yemeni security official said.Nasser al-Wahayshi, the Yemeni leader of Al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula (AQAP), and his Saudi deputy, Saeed al-Shehri, were believed to be among 30 militants killed in the dawn operation in the eastern province of Shabwa, said the official, who asked not to be identified.
U.S.-born cleric Anwar al-Awlaki may also have died in the air strike which targeted a meeting of militants planning attacks on Yemeni and foreign oil and economic targets, he said.
If all the deaths are confirmed, the air strike would appear to have struck a severe blow against AQAP, seen as the most dangerous regional offshoot of Osama bin Laden's network.
"Anwar al-Awlaki is suspected to be dead," the official said of the cleric who was on the run in Yemen, where he was on the government's most-wanted list of terrorist suspects.
According to U.S. officials, the U.S. army psychiatrist who ran amok at the Fort Hood army base in Texas on November 5 had contacts with Awlaki....
Good fucking riddance!
Dear Cornelius, I couldn't agree more. Nice Christmas present to the American people. Cheers!
Zombie power...The article is correct...you can never be sure if one of these guys has been taken out or not...they have an uncanny way of returning from the dead...
So imam Anwar al-Awlaki who "made way" for young jihadis to be given 72 Hors receives 72 Hors for himself and that was forced on him.
ALL JIHAD WATCH READERS SHOULD BE ADVISED OF THE HOMELAND SECURITY ANNOUNCEMENT ON THE FOLLOWING THREATS:::
Elves have started to fashion ICD's (Improvised Candycane Devices) for use in a devastating Christmas Eve attack. It is feared that the Green and Red Sect of Santaism will unleash its most advanced technological weapon, an unstoppable force, that can silently penetrate any building no matter how secure. It is rumored that Elves have also developed noiseless flying devices to facilitate their attacks, capable of extraordinary speed, but that can hover and land on any structure.
Security personnel have observed a spike in Elfin chatter, intelligence has been secured from controversial domestic surveillance confirms plans for Christmas Eve attacks are more than just rumor. Most troubling are the "Bad" lists that were secured from no knock searches of Santa safe houses. It is uncertain what these lists mean, but experts fear that the lists identify targets of attack.
Plans have been uncovered from searches of the ice caves in Mora Toy-a section of the Arctic, that suggests plans for widespread arson attacks on homes. Large socks with incendiary devices will be placed near potential sources of combustion, including fireplaces and wood stoves.
Other plans outlined attacks on shopping malls. Reports have been coming in from around the nation, indicating that identically disguised elves have set up bases of operations in shopping centers across the nation. More troubling are the lines of converts coming to worship or curry favor from the Elves. Questions have been raised if the H1N1 flu vaccine primarily administer to children, may be contaminated with mind control substances. Rumors have surfaced that converts are exchanging lists of potential targets and other domestic intelligence for ICD's. The most fervent converts are very young, however it appears that adults have been enabling the Elfin plot and have engaged in cover up activities in order to shield the main attack on Christmas Eve.
Unnamed sources indicate that there is even a more sinister aspect to these elfin plots. The Elves have developed secret monitoring technologies to allow them to "see" anything, anywhere, anytime. Undercover operatives have penetrated local cells, and have observed members chanting sacred verses. These verses indicate that Santa and his elfin army can, "See you when you're sleeping, he knows when you're awake, he knows if you've been bad or good..." The verse also contains threats, "... so be good for goodness sake." Administration insiders have expressed concerns that domestic security and even nuclear weapon security may have been compromised.
Merry Christmas to all
The Reaper
Such scumbags are exactly the kind of "innocent life" that Mein Qurampf 5:32, both Buraq Hussein and George W. Bush's favorite inbred-bedouin-savage quote, refers to. So, to mahoundians, the dispatching of those lowlifes is as though all of mahoundiankind/tapewormkind had died, isn't it? Poo, poo, poo, boo hoo...
So sad, the Army will now have to recruit another 'e-mail chaplain' for it's mental health staff.
Even sadder, we probably interfered with an operation in which this "cleric" was going to get the miscreants to reform and renounce their misinterpretation of 'jihad'.
And, an e-mail exchange by hasan with this (hopefully dead) creep didn't set off alarm bells? And, this 'oversight' hasn't set off alarm bells?
Man, its hard to watch these jokers and not worry about the future of our country.
Right on brother! Right on! I wonder what he and allah had to say to each other?!
Ah, feel the love of Islime!
