| A top Yemeni official says al Qaeda's chief bomb maker in Yemen was not killed in the U.S. drone strike on a convoy two days ago. U.S. intelligence officials had said that bomb maker Ibrahim Al-Asiri may have been killed. But on Sunday a Yemeni official said Al-Asiri was not among those who died in the drone attack Really? Prove it. Produce him with a copy of today's NYT, and please provide GPS coordinates. that killed U.S.-born jihadist holy man Anwar al-Awlaki. ... Born in Las Cruces, New Mexico, al-Awlaki is a dual citizen of the U.S. and Yemen. He is an Islamic holy man who is a trainer for al-Qaeda and its franchises. His sermons were attended by three of the 9/11 hijackers, by Fort Hood murderer Nidal Malik Hussein, and UndieboomerUmar Farouk Abdulmutallab. He is the first U.S. citizen ever placed on a CIA target list... Al-Asiri has been linked to the bomb that authorities allege a Nigerian man tried to detonate aboard a Detroit-bound plane in 2009. The Yemeni official spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss intelligence matters. In addition to al-Awlaki, another American-born member of al Qaeda died in the strike Friday: Samir Khan, the co-editor of an online English-language magazine that had urged American Mohammedans to carry out attacks. |

| #2 Greater question: Burried as sea? What if UBL "wasn't killed" and is now resting comfortably in Mecca with his young wife and son. Interesting is it not, how we seem to recently be enjoying great success at killing off a number of the top AQ leadership. |
