Line o' the Day: Al Qaeda's letter to MorOn.org

 

The U.S. military is eliminating Al Qaida's chain of command in Iraq... Officials said several leading aides to Al Qaida network chief Abu Ayoub Al Masri have been killed by the U.S.-led coalition. They said two out of the four foreign aides of Al Masri remain alive. On Sept. 25, the U.S. military killed an Al Qaida chief deemed responsible for transporting foreign operatives to Iraq. The Al Qaida commander, identified as Abu Osama Al Tunisi, was killed in a U.S. air strike as he met his colleagues in Musayib, about 60 kilometers south of Baghdad. Shortly before he died, Al Tunisi wrote a letter that warned of a threat to Al Qaida operations in Karkh. The lettter, found by the U.S. military, sought guidance from Al Qaida leaders amid coalition operations that hampered Al Tunisi's network. "We are so desperate for your help," the letter read.

Oops. Sorry about that headline. I'd thought the letter had been addressed to MorOn.org and key Democratic leaders --- as they're the only ones who can stop the United States from succeeding in Iraq.
