Yet another top Al Qaeda operative has been halted from killing women and children:
BAGHDAD — A senior Al Qaeda (search) leader was killed during a series of Coalition raids in western Iraq on Oct. 15, the U.S. military says.
According to a press statement released by the Coalition Press Information Center in Baghdad, Sa'ad Ali Firas Muntar al Dulaymi (aka Abu Abdullah) was killed near the town of Ramadi during raids on suspected terror hideouts.
At least 11 other terrorists were killed in the operation, according to the military.
Military intelligence sources indicate that Sa'ad Ali Firas was highly regarded by many senior Al Qaeda members, including Abu Musab Zarqawi.
With report after report of Al Qaeda officers captured or killed, we are seeing continued U.S. success in reducing the effectiveness of this terrorist organization.
POWELL: 'U.S. IS NOT DOING BAD AT ALL'
What a refreshing change from cases in which former members of an administration attack it. This does credit to both Powell and to GWB.
