Hillary Clinton: Fazul Abdullah Mohammed Killing 'A Just End'

ssociated Press

DAR ES SALAAM, Tanzania -- U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton is the first U.S. official to publicly confirm the death of the al-Qaida operative behind the 1998 U.S. Embassy bombings in Kenya and Tanzania.

A Somali minister earlier Saturday said officials in that country have determined that a man killed by security forces on Tuesday was Fazul Abdullah Mohammed.

Now Clinton says in a statement while in Tanzania that his death is a "significant blow to al-Qaida, its extremist allies and its operations in East Africa."

She says it's "a just end for a terrorist who brought so much death and pain to so many innocents" from the embassy bombings.

The blasts killed 224 people. Most were Kenyans. Twelve Americans also died.

1. I agree with her. n/t

2. It certainly sends a message to terrorist leaders

Up to now they've pretty much gotten away with sending people to commit suicide for their agendas. Cutting off the head is a good strategy and saves lots of innocent lives in the process.

Unfortunately we tend to kill a lot of innocent people in our attempt to get the leadership which only creates more hatred towards us. In our own way we're helping to perpetuate terrorism though. It's not an easy issue to deal with. But I think it would help a lot if we had a Department of Peace where we could actively work towards bringing peace to the world in a concerted effort. But I guess that's just too whacky to ever be taken seriously.

It could be done though. Sigh.

3. There have been a quite a few big "kills" since OBL was taken out.

Perhaps its all the intel from the OBL raid or perhaps AQ is now on the run and are more exposed.

Regardless, Obama is making Bush look like a major terrorist appeaser!

4. I'm glad he's gone. Just another terrorist scum
