Pepe Escobar is a very good reporter. And now that he is in Iraq, I may learn more from him than from YouTube:

Masri: Dead or alive, the terror
continues



News
that Abu al-Masri, the Egyptian-born leader of
al-Qaeda in Iraq, had been killed was greeted
ecstatically in the Shi'ite slum of Sadr City
in Baghdad. The joy might be premature, as the
death has not been confirmed. And true or
not, it will make no difference. A thousand Masris
are waiting in the wings, and al-Qaeda's strategy
of non-stop bombings to keep inciting Sunnis
to attack Shi'ites won't change. -
