U.S. Says Al Qaeda in Iraq's Second in Command Killed

 The U.S. military says the No. 2 leader of Al Qaeda in Iraq has been killed by Coalition forces during an Oct. 5 operation in the northern city of Mosul.

The military has positively identified the insurgent leader as a Moroccan known as Abu Qaswarah or Abu Sara.

Wednesday's statement says he became the senior Al Qaeda in Iraq emir of northern Iraq in June 2007 and had ties to senior Al Qaeda leaders in Afghanistan and Pakistan.

It also says "he was Al Qaeda in Iraq's second-in-command" behind Abu Ayyub al-Masri, who also is known as Abu Hamza al-Muhajir.

Abu Qaswarah was Al Qaeda in Iraq's second in command and Al Qaeda in Iraq Emir Abu Ayyub al-Masri's senior operational leader. Significant intelligence collected in the hunt for Abu Qaswarah led Coalition forces to a building in Mosul that served as a key command and control location for Al Qaeda in Iraq.

“The American people will never knowingly adopt socialism. But, under the name of ‘liberalism’, they will adopt every fragment of the socialist program, until one day America will be a socialist nation, without knowing how it happened.” - Norman Thomas, U.S. Socialist Party presidential candidate 1940, 1944 and 1948

"America is like a healthy body and its resistance is threefold: its patriotism, its morality, and its spiritual life. If we can undermine these three areas, America will collapse from within."  Stalin
