Dead al-Qaeda spy was just some guy named Herb
Military today clarified that an Al-Qaeda fighter killed in an operation near the Afghan border was just a local intelligence operative and not the terror network's spy chief. "He is not really the intelligence chief for all Al-Qaeda, but he was one of the top intelligence people in Wana (South Waziristan) for Al-Qaeda," military spokesman Major General Shaukat Sultan told AFP. Sultan at a news conference on Monday said Pakistan army killed "Mr Abdullah, who was the chief of Al-Qaeda intelligence." Sultan still refused to answer questions whether the military recovered Abdullah's body, saying he has no details about the full name, nationality and identity of the man.
