Saudi al-Qaeda Leader Killed

Here's some good news.

From Reuters:

Saudi security forces killed the leader of the kingdom's al Qaeda group in a clash in the holy city of Medina on Thursday, a security source said.

He said security forces had killed Saleh al-Awfi, who was believed to have taken over leadership of al Qaeda in Saudi Arabia last year.

In a telephone interview from Riyadh, Interior Ministry spokesman Major General Mansour al-Turki said ongoing raids against suspected terrorists resulted in the killing.

I'm going to have a celebratory donut.

1 Cool, The life expectancy of Al-Qaeda leaders in the KSA seems to be rather short.

2 It's so nice to see a leader of these guys buy the farm so to speak.

4 It seems that the Saudis don't appreciate it when the terrorists they've bred, fed, indoctrinated, financed, trained, and equipped turn against them.

5 Who wants to bet the Saudis are labeling reformists as Al Qaeda and killing them left and right...

6 Do you really think killing al-Qaeda leaders will stop them? I suspect for every one you kill two more will spring up. There are at least a billion Muslims are you willing to kill all of them? Probibly so.

7 Uh Fatima we didn't kill him.

8 Fatima, the answer is yes, if necessary. That, however, is up to the muslims, who have proven totally inept at modern warfare. Your choice; live or die.

9 Fatima, I thought terrorists and Muslems were not the same thing and now you're saying they are. Nemas problemas! We'll have to take your word for it and kill them all.

10 Fatima: I believe in killing them until the religion based cowardly terrorism stops. If muslims support Al-Qaeda, yes, kill them. I believe all members of Al-Qaeda and their supporters in any way should be eleminated. They should not be allowed to terrorize the civilized world. If killing them is the solution. O'kay with me. After all killing is their game. If you support Al-Qaeda. You should die. It is only just. Murderers and their cohorts should die.
