Big fish too...by the looks of him.
BAGHDAD, Iraq – Coalition forces killed an al-Qaeda in Iraq military advisor during an operation Aug. 31 west of Tarmiyah.Coalition forces conducted a precision operation west of Tarmiyah Aug. 31. The assault force followed a vehicle containing two suspected terrorists and attempted to get the driver to stop. When the driver resisted capture, the assault force fired on the vehicle. Both the driver and the passenger were killed in the operation. Coalition forces later identified one of the men as Abu Yaqub al-Masri.
Al-Masri, who is also known as Zakkariya or Doctor, was a military advisor to al-Qaeda in Iraq leaders in Baghdad and the surrounding belts. He provided guidance and direction for attack planning, coordination and execution.
Intelligence reports indicate al-Masri was directed by senior al-Qaeda in Iraq leaders to plan attacks that would cultivate sectarian strife. The former al-Qaeda in Iraq military emir of Baghdad, now detained by Coalition forces, described al-Masri as director of the “car bomb division.”
Al-Masri was one of the primary architects behind the Nov. 26 car bombings in Sadr City that killed 181 Iraqi civilians and injured another 247. He also planned major attacks on the bridges in the Rusafa area to isolate the Shi’ite population there.
Al-Masri previously fought against Coalition forces in Afghanistan and is linked to several senior leaders of al-Qaeda.
He was allied with Dr. Ayman Zawahiri, bin Laden’s second-in-command. He was also close to Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, the former leader of al-Qaeda in Iraq killed in a Coalition air strike in June 2006.
“Coalition operations are disrupting and destroying al-Qaeda’s terrorist networks,” said Maj. Winfield Danielson, MNF-I spokesperson. “There is nowhere to hide.”
Important that we don't understate how important of a kill this was... if Al-Qa'ida Iraq was structured like the Legion of Doom, this clown would be sitting somewhere between Bizzaro Superman and the Black Manta. I bid a fond farewell to all terrorists, but for this guy I'd be willing to break out the champagne and party poppers, and hire a band to belt out the Axl Rose version of "Knockin' on Heaven's Door"..... all while steely eyed soldiers usher him along to meet Allah.
But, on the other hand, I suppose you don't go to all that trouble after spraying a roach with Raid.
I don't want to get all disjointed on you, but when that long black cloud starts coming down on these bozos, I get introspective. Reminds me that all things are best in moderation, 'cept Redskins wins, muscle cars, and dead terrorists.

All things are best in moderation, including moderation...
John, I have little problem with a dead terrorist. You and I agree on that.
However, don't break out the champagne just yet... one of the characteristics of an organization such as AQI is its ability to replace individual losses such as his quickly. Yes, he may have been possessed of knowledge and experience, but there are many "veterans" now in this war in our enemy's ranks.
Look at how little effect Zarqawi's death had on the overall picture. Yes, a nice kill... but it's like hitting a cockroach just right so that it explodes with that creepy, yet satisfying "pop". It's cool, but really doesn't make a whole lot of difference in the grand scheme of things.
John is on quite a roll. Anyone who can segue al Qaeda into the Legion of doom could make a living on a comedy tour.
i think we are seeing the fruits of the battle rattle bunches labors. they have been killing the older wiser cockroachs and although they are replaced at a moments notice with new ones the current crop is not that swift in getting out of sight when the light comes on.
two-three years ago catching one of the big names in alq out on a road in a small car just wasn't done. now this guy is gone relatively easily.

It’s crafted in premium leather and constructed to be sturdy and highly dependable. Timberland see it as the role model that all other christian louboutin sandals have been based on since. The boot comes in a rust colour and the classic wheat colour, giving you that original timeless louboutin look.
