Two key Qaeda men killed in Waziristan
2003-10-19
Not just one, but two...
Information Minister Sheikh Rashid Ahmed said on Saturday two “important” Al Qaeda members, including one with a bounty on his head, had been killed in a raid near the Afghan border this month. Earlier this week, the minister said a senior Al Qaeda official could have been among eight suspects killed in the October 2 operation by Pakistani troops. On Saturday he said further investigations had revealed a second casualty was also an important Al Qaeda figure. “Not only one, but two important men had been killed in that operation,” he told Reuters. “One of them had a price on his head. The other didn’t have a price but was a very important figure.”
"Cheeze! Is this his nose?"
He declined to name either man. However, the minister said Canadian national Ahmed Said Khadr, believed to be an Al Qaeda financier, was not among those killed in the operation near the border town of Angor Adda in South Waziristan Agency. “The search is on for him. Let’s see what happens.” Intelligence officials said the Egyptian-born Khadr, alias Abu Abdur Rehman, nicknamed Al-Canadi, was thought to have been hiding in the mud-built houses before the raid was conducted, but must have slipped away. But they said one of Khadr’s sons was killed in the raid.
He's teasing. I'm just not sure why...
