| Jordanian al Qaedan Blown Up in Afghanistan |
| 2011-06-15 |
| Killed by air raid or artillery, or both. A martyrdom statement for Mahmoud Hamdan Nizal, who was known as Abu Dher al Urduni, was published by a member of the Shumukh al-Islam forum, which is frequented by members of al Qaeda and other terrorist groups. The statement was released on June 12, 2011 and translated by the SITE Intelligence Group. Nizal was from the Jordanian city of Zarqa, the home town of slain al Qaeda in Iraq leader Abu Musab al Zarqawi. Doesn't speak well of that town, does it? According to the statement, Nizal was killed during US air and artillery strikes in the Bermel district of Paktika province "where the lions of al Qaeda were in an operation against a base belonging to the Crusaders." The date of Nizal's death was not disclosed. Nizal was "preparing rockets to launch at the filthy base of the Crusaders" when he and his team were discovered by US troops, who launched a counterattack. Well, pre-emptive strike, more than a counterattack, but who's quibbling. |
