Pakistan: Strike Against al-Qaeda Successful After All, Press Silent
The Western Press had already fallen for the propaganda, including the infamous artillery shell picture. It is quite amazing they grant more credibility to our enemies than they grant our government's officials. Here is the story: Strike killed al-Qa'ida bomb expert
AN al-Qa'ida explosives and chemical weapons expert and a relative of the terror network's No2 leader were among top operatives believed killed in a US missile strike in Pakistan.Pakistani authorities have said that at least four foreign militants were killed in last Friday's attack in a village near the Afghan border, which officials say targeted - but missed - al-Qa'ida mastermind Ayman al-Zawahiri.
A security official said three notable al-Qa'ida figures were in Damadola at the time of the attack and said their bodies were believed to have been taken away by sympathisers. He added that one of them was Midhat Mursi, an Egyptian.
The US Justice Department cites Midhat Mursi al-Sayid Umar, also known as Abu Khabab al-Masri, as an explosives and poisons expert who trained hundreds of mujaheddin at a terrorist camp in Afghanistan near the eastern city of Jalalabad.
