al Qaeda's master bomb maker killed in U.S. strike!

ABC News has learned that al Qaeda's master bomb maker and chemical weapons expert was one of the men killed in last week's U.S. missile attack in eastern Pakistan.

It is looking like the U.S. air strike in Pakistan was not a bad move...

Excellent!

I wonder how many innocent lives were saved by taking out this thug.

The one thing that intrigues me on this report is that this si the same bombing that the US has been catching so much flak about. The one that killed "18 innocent" civilians including 5 women and 5 children. Now the Pakistani's are hunting the graves to find out if this guy was there!

is this confirmed? by what autopsy or proof? or did they just take a wild guess the carcoal body was a master bomb maker?

i bet the end results show only a few were innocents...

Not many when you consider they still retain the capabilites to create and distribute explosives. Bombmaking isn't exactly rocket science this guy is completely replaceable. It's not like they're engaged in topsecret research and years of irreplaceable data have been lost with his death. This is closer to killing the designer of the Abrams tank, yeah he was important in the design process but it's not like killing him will destroy our abilities to make tanks. I'm afraid this is more of a propaganda victory rather then an actual strategic gain.

The sentiments of many that feel self righteous in the killing and justification of people from another races and religious background is OK, we got a bomb maker.

Is still unclear who was who than die.

So one kill makes the rest than die OK We save many

Well taking in consideration that most of the muslin world hates the west, then I guess we can justify killing all of them because No all of them are Innocent

Pakistan falls in that category taking in consideration that only the government is friends with the US.

The population hates us, So should we go and kill them? they are potential terrorist you know, is not Innocent people or Innocent babies because they all muslin and the hates us.

Incredible the mentality of some, should I blame that mentality, I guess is no their fault they have been spoon fed that we are the good and they are the evil.

intrepid,
I am not sure what the laws are in Canada for sure, but I am fairly sure that if you harbor a fugative from the law, you are guilty as an accessory to the crime. Is that not correct?
If as the story is unfolding is true, the site was being used to plan new attacks in the spring time. According to the latest reports, the villagers knew what was going on which is why there is now the Pakistanis are also looking for a cleric who is suspected of removing the "incriminating" bodies and buring them at another location.
If the US had said something like this was happening, I would take it with a grain of salt. The Pakistani goverment is the one that is saying this. They are the ones hunting for the graves and the cleric.
This looks more and more like a "human shield" issue than anything else.

if there even were any, no but what do you expect? the military or cia not to act because some might be killed who are innocent? let the terrorists escape?

for all we know, investigations might show all were non-innocents.

This is nonsense and anyone with a rational head would realize this. What see here is a smoke and mirror tactic to cover up the deaths of innocents and thier blatant idiocy by stating that a master bomb and chemical agent was killed. Tell me, where is the veracity of this?

This is utter nonsense.

Have you been following this Kenshiro? The Pakistani gov is US friendly despite what the people of Pakistan say. What would you expect that gov't to say? Would any ally of ANYONE put up with an attack on their own soil by an ally get their asses in the air? I would hope so. Pakistan didn't. WHY?

That's at the heart of this imo.

Pakistani news has not yet to come forward on the identity of the bodies.

But is ok American media said we have a bomb maker, is all peachy we are redeemed mission acomlished.

Now for one than "was targeted" how many more are going to take his place?

Taking in consideration again the growing resentment in the area against US taking involvement in their lands I imagine that many will take his place.

But is ok we got a bomb maker. Hurray

I have NO doubt at all that this is what will happen, and the masses will lap it up. :shk:

Namerhere,

If that's the case, then why did western news agencies report that x was killed, and why do they say now that y has has just been killed?

not many with his expierence and knowledge of al queda, what we should just leave them alone?

You forget that Pakistan has scientist and nuclear power, they also have a population that supports their own in the fight with the west.

That along is a red tag.

Luxifero

they have only one guy verifiably identified.

mainly they are looking for a justification of the bombing so that people will start to forget about it since terrorist were killed, even if theres no real proof. so if the news comes in that no terrorist was killed, most will have forgotten about the incident by that time.
