Desperately-Seeking AQ

Via Instapundit, World Tribune:
Last letter from doomed Al Qaida chief: 'We are so desperate for your help'

BAGHDAD — The U.S. military is eliminating Al Qaida's chain of command in Iraq.

Officials said several leading aides to Al Qaida network chief Abu Ayoub Al Masri have been killed by the U.S.-led coalition. They said two out of the four foreign aides of Al Masri remain alive.

On Sept. 25, the U.S. military killed an Al Qaida chief deemed responsible for transporting foreign operatives to Iraq. The Al Qaida commander, identified as Abu Osama Al Tunisi, was killed in a U.S. air strike as he met his colleagues in Musayib, about 60 kilometers south of Baghdad.

Haven't heard this yet here from the MSM? No surprises there.

"The inner circle of leadership with Abu Ayoub Al Masri consists of foreigners, and Al Tunisi was in this top tier of leadership," Anderson said.

This was the second leading aide of Al Masri killed in less than a month.

Closing in. Breaking blog break to let you know.
