#4 The Daily Mail points out this is the fourth time we have killed the gentleman in question...

In January, Yemen's official Saba news agency reported that al-Shihri died of wounds from a drone strike three months earlier.

In 2009 it was announced that he was killed by an American cruise missile and in September 2012, Yemeni news sites reported he was eliminated by a U.S. drone strike.
