No sooner do I post about the seemingly infinite supply of top Al Qaeda commanders than the military kills yet another one:
American soldiers killed the alleged No. 2 leader of al-Qaida in
Iraq, a Moroccan who trained in Afghanistan, recruited foreign fighters
and ran operations in northern Iraq where Sunni insurgents remain a
potent threat, the U.S. military said Wednesday.
The man, who the military said was known as Abu Qaswarah, died Oct. 5 during a raid on a building in the northern city of Mosul that served as a major "command and control location" for the region. Four other insurgents were killed in the operation, the U.S. said.
