| #2 Dan if the "spiritual guide" that has been killed is one of the 26 most wanted it could be Isa Saad Muhammad ibn Aushen (variation: Oshan) who is the son-in-law of Sheik Abdullah Bin Jebreen(variation: Jibreen). Jibreen is the Saudi shaykh that caused such a stink last year when he was scheduled to speak at a Muslim conference in Houston. Other candidates for today's kill are Faris Al-Zahrani and Shaykh Abdullah Al-Rashoud (both Islamist clerics and on the 26 most wanted list), although both are rumored to have been captured during the June 18 shootout that killed Muqrin, Faisal al-Dakheel, Turki al-Mutairi (one of three terrorists who escaped the Khobar rampage), and Ibrahim al-Draihem (suspected of helping plan the bombing of a Muhaya residential compound in Riyadh last November). |
