#2 Abdel-Aziz, speaking after burial prayers for a policeman killed in the fighting, refused to reveal the name of the militant killed Wednesday or say if he was on a list of 26 most wanted militants in Saudi. He added that a statement would be issued later.

Translation: they will first look at the death mask, compare it to photos in a book of mug shots, pick out the one that looks the closest (Terrorist X), then issue a statement that it was Terrorist X that was bumped off, along with a few details (which will NOT include forensics data), and that will be that.

#4 No doubt it was actually Sharon and his Zionists that were caught and shot up and misindentified.
