| #2 From Bill Roggio: Abu Kasha was the key link between al Qaeda's Shura Majlis -- main Shura or consultive body -- and the Taliban. His resonsibilities have expanded to assisting in facilitating al Qaeda external operations against the West, a senior US military intelligence official told told The Long War Journal today. Kasha commanded two local Pakistani commanders, Imanullah and Haq Nawaz Dawar. These men administer al Qaeda's network in Mir Ali. Kasha had a working relationship and close communication with the Uzbek terror groups, including the Islamic Jihad Group run by Najimuddin Uzbek, who also operates out of North Waziristan. One wonders if the other 14 were all innocent women and children, and how many fluffy bunnies were killed. |

PESHAWAR, Pakistan (Reuters) – A mid-level al Qaeda leader, identified as an Iraqi, was among up to 20 people killed on Friday in a U.S. missile strike in northwest Pakistan, a Pakistani intelligence official said. The intelligence official identified the al Qaeda leader as Abu Akash and said he was believed to have been Iraqi. "He is a mid-level al Qaeda man who was leading a high-profile life in Mir Wali," said the official, who declined to be identified, referring to the second biggest town in the North Waziristan region on the Afghan border. Living a high profile life? Not anymore... |
