The recent air strike in Pakistan was even more successful than initial and interim reports had indicated.
Not only Al Qaeda's top bomb maker and chemical weapons expert Abu Khabab al-Masri, but also two other Al Qaeda commanders were killed in the strike. Al Qaeda has now lost five senior leaders over a span of five weeks. Read the details at ThreatsWatch. Here's the conclusion:
"The meeting in Damadola was a high value target of opportunity which could not be passed up. U.S. intelligence took the risk, pulled the trigger and bagged three senior al-Qaeda commanders. Masri, Habib, and al-Magrabi have been removed from the chain of command, and must be replaced by junior operatives who possess neither their stature, experience or connections. Al-Qaeda has been weakened."
