Al-Qaida says No. 3 leader, bin Laden's brother-in-law, killed
Looks like the #4 leader just got promoted. Anybody keeping count? Haven't heard anything about #2 since the last time he was killed.

>>>Al-Qaida's number three — a co-founder of the terror network and Osama bin Laden's brother-in-law — has been killed in Pakistan's border area with Afghanistan, according to a statement attributed to the group that was posted on Islamist websites Monday.

The statement did not say how Shaykh Saeed, whose real name is Shaykh Mustafa Abu al-Yazid, was killed nor did it identify a successor. Saeed was also al-Qaida's financial director.

One senior U.S. official speaking on condition of anonymity told NBC News that Saeed was killed in an attack by a missile-carrying drone aircraft.

I guess we can leave now. Mission Accomplished! :eyes:

A successor hasn't been named yet.

8. So who is the official spokesman for Al-Ka-ee-dah?
Does he stand at a podium with the official logo to give the latest updates? Enquiring minds want to know.
