Strike Killed Al Qaeda Bomb Maker

Remember that airstrike last Friday in Pakistan that killed innocent villagers? Yeah well, apparently Pakistan has a whole other meaning for the word innocent.

Pakistani officials now believe that al Qaeda's master bomb maker and chemical weapons expert was one of the men killed in last week's U.S. missile attack in eastern Pakistan.

Midhat Mursi, 52, also known as Abu Khabab al-Masri, was identified by Pakistani authorities as one of four known major al Qaeda leaders present at an apparent terror summit in the village of Damadola early last Friday morning.

If this is true, it's a huge success in the war on terrorism as Midhat was a man too dangerous to be left in one piece.
But that's not all.

Pakistani intelligence identified Khalid Habib, head of al-Qaida operations in southeastern Afghanistan, and Abu Ubeida al Masri, an al-Qaida provincial commander in Afghanistan, also among those killed in the attack.

Kind of puts a whole new light on things don't it.

UPDATE:
Also reportedly killed in the strike on Friday was Abdul Rehman al-Maghribi, an Al-Qaeda commander who was also a relative of Ayman al-Zawahiri, possibly his son-in-law.
