Top al Qaeda leader Ilyas Kashmiri killed in US Predator strike
« on: June 04, 2011, 12:56:02 PM »


The US has killed Ilyas Kashmiri, one of al Qaeda's most dangerous military commanders and strategists, in a Predator airstrike yesterday in South Waziristan.

Kashmiri is said to be one of nine members of the al Qaeda-linked Harkat-ul Jihad Islami, or HUJI, who were killed in yesterday's Predator airstrike that leveled a compound in the Wana area of South Waziristan. A Harkat-ul Jihad Islami spokesman told Dawn that Kashmiri was killed in the attack.

Highlights from the article:
Quote
The attack took place in an area of South Waziristan controlled by Mullah Nazir, a Taliban commander who has proudly admitted he is also an al Qaeda leader. The Pakistani military refuses to move against Nazir as he is considered a "good Taliban" leader because he does not attack the state. Nazir does shelter al Qaeda and other terror groups, and carries out attacks in Afghanistan.
Quote
Kashmiri has also been linked to Pakistan's Inter-Services Intelligence directorate, which has viewed him as an asset due to his prowess in fighting the Indians in Jammu and Kashmir.
Quote
In late 2003, Kashmiri was detained by Pakistani police for his alleged role in an attempted assassination of Musharraf, but he was inexplicably released in February 2004.

Bottom line. Never trust a muslim.

It's great that we have hung another high value varmint pelt on the fence but we are backing the wrong horse in this race. Screw Pakistan, they are not our friends.

We should flat out dump Pakistan and back our true ally in the region, India.

Good news!  I hope this is a result of the intel that was gathered after OBL took one in the headlights.

Scrape up the bits, and bury them in a pigskin.

It worked for Kitchener, it will work now.
