Sa'ad Mohammad al Shahri Killed in A'stan
2010-10-05
Sa'ad Mohammad al Shahri, a longtime jihadist and the son of a retired Saudi colonel, was killed in an unidentified airstrike in Afghanistan "a few days ago," Gulf News reported.

The location of the strike that killed al Shahri has not been identified, however the International Security Assistance Force announced that an airstrike in the Korengal Valley in Kunar province on Sept. 25 killed a senior al Qaeda leader named Abdallah Umar al Qurayshi, an "explosives expert" named Abu Atta al Kuwaiti, "and several Arab foreign fighters."
Sounds like a 'useful' crew - wonder if we got boots on the ground to pick up phones, computers, documents.
Al Shahri has been wanted by the Saudi government since June 28, 2005, when he was placed on the list of 36 most wanted terrorists.
Was he really wanted by the Saudis, or did they just want him somewhere else?

Most likely went to a good school that taught him to kill infidels!
