UPDATE: Full translation of communique here and here is a video (with subtitles) of the daisy pusher spouting off his fanaticism. Notice how he accuses the J-O-Os of trying to distort the meaning of jihad into something other than killing people for Allah.

Another one bites the dust. And another one's gone, and another one's gone, another one bites the duest. Hey, were gonna get you too, another one bites the dust....

Word on the anti-jihadi sites is that al Qaeda in Iraq released a communique announcing the death of a senior leader. Evan Kohlmann of The Counterterroism blog has a full translation of the communique over at his personal website here.

UPDATE: Warning--Beavis moment: Here is a line from the communique, "He immigrated and declared jihad with his tongue and his spearhead...." I see child molestering should be added to his list of crimes.

Via Jihad Watch here is an MSM report on it:

The Web statement said Abdullah Mohammed Rashid al-Roshoud was killed in fighting near Qaim, on the border with Syria. It was signed by Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, the most notorious terrorist leader in Iraq.

The statement did not say when al-Roshoud was killed, but U.S. forces have launched a series of offensives near Qaim in past weeks against militants coming across the border.

Al-Roshoud slipped into Iraq in April, according to the posting, the authenticity of which could not be confirmed.

The Saudi militant and a group of mujahedeen "killed some of the Crusaders until the enemies of God had to withdraw."

"When the Crusaders could not enter the area, the only thing they could do was bombard the mujahedeen with warplanes," it said. "Our sheik (al-Roshoud) got what he wished" - martyrdom.

Al-Roshoud had been No. 24 on a list of the 26 most-wanted terrorist leaders put out by Saudi Arabia two years ago and was one of only three militants on the list still at large. He was one of the main theologians for al-Qaida's network in Saudi Arabia, calling for a holy war against the Saudi royal family and Western interests in the Persian Gulf...

On the wish for martyrdom, Ed ads, "May those wishes come true, and quickly." Amen, brotha
