Also Stable?

Abu Ayyub al-Masri, the leader of Al Qaeda in Iraq, is reported dead in a fire fight with rival Jihadists.

Until it is confirmed that Abu is sharing a pew with Castro in a very warm spot, I'm holding off on the celebrations.

Fun Fact from GlobalSecurity.org:
He probably came into Iraq in 2002, before Zarqawi's arrival, and may have helped establish the first al-Qaeda cell in the Baghdad area.
But Iraq had nothing to do with Al Qaeda and is just a distraction from the "real" war.

  1. To paraphrase the long-lamented poet laureate Messr. Freddie Mercury:

    Another one bites the dust!
    Another one bites the dust!
    And another one gone
    And another one gone
    Another one bites the dust!
