Top al Qaeda Targets Reportedly Dead After U.S. Air Strike
Source: ABC News

Brings FBI's Most Wanted Terrorists List Down to 21


Two top al Qaeda officials are believed dead following a New Year's Day drone attack in northern Pakistan, ABC News has confirmed. U.S. officials said Fahid Mohammed Ali Msalam and Sheikh Ahmed Salem Swedan, both on the FBI's most wanted terrorists list, were killed in the CIA strike.

Msalam, who also went by the alias Usama al-Kini, and Swedan were both from Kenya and were indicted in the Aug. 7, 1998 bombings of U.S. embassies in Tanzania and Kenya and for conspiring to kill U.S. citizens.

"It's amazing that it took 10 years to get these guys when they were on the FBI most wanted list all of this time," said former national security advisor and ABC News consultant Richard Clarke.

...

FBI spokesman Richard Kolko said in statement late Thursday that Msalam was believed to be the operations chief for al Qaeda in Pakistan. While he could not confirm Msalam's alleged involvement in the September 2008 attack on the Marriott hotel in Islamabad, he said U.S. offficials reported Msalam was involved in attacks in Pakistan over the last year.

6. Legacy padding....
I understand Bush set up a colony on Mars, gave everyone solar powered roofing shingles and cured the common cold when he was president too... Well, I'm sure he'll get some credit for shingles but that may take a few decades.

7. Doesn't matter.
The U.S. and Israel are creating a waiting list of fresh recruits with their actions.

You can't kill your way toward peace and security.
