Now, there needs to be a new list update. Don’t ask me to do it, however, rest assures, someone is keeping track. What cracks me up is that Pakistan still denies that it is an ally against terrorism in its own country. That is sort of like Muslims ignoring rampant terrorism in its ranks.

“U.S. officials say top al-Qaida leader killed

Pakistan denies any Predator attack in mountainous province

A high-ranking al-Qaida figure was killed Thursday in an attack by a drone aircraft in northwest Pakistan, U.S. officials told NBC News.

The officials did not identify who was killed, except to say that it was not al-Qaida’s supreme leader, Osama bin Laden. If the report is confirmed, it would be the first time coalition forces had killed a top al-Qaida figure in almost a year.

The officials said the killing was the result of stepped-up operations targeting al-Qaida leaders in recent weeks.”
