SANAA, Yemen - Yemeni officials say an airstrike
has killed a top al-Qaida leader who was wanted in the 2000 bombing of
the USS Cole. The airstrike resembled earlier U.S. drone attacks, but
the U.S. did not immediately confirm it.

Local official Abu Bakr bin Farid said Fahd al-Quso was killed Sunday along with an aide in an airstrike in the southern Shabwa province. The Yemeni Embassy in Washington confirmed the report.

LOL at the guy claiming Obama is responsible for this. Obama does not make the call on every military strike. Thank God Unified Combat Command is cleaning up the mess the terrorist have given us.

This is great news. Obama was right when he said that no matter how long it takes the U.S. will pursue those who have harmed and plan to harm the U.S.
