More Setbacks for Al Qaeda in Iraq

Though some reports of the deaths of senior terrorist leaders can't be confirmed, its obvious the enemy is suffering reversals in embattled Iraq. From Bill Roggio:

Leader of al Qaeda's Islamic State of Iraq reported killed by Iraqi
Interior Ministry; Coalition announces the death of Muharib Abdul Latif
al-Jubouri, al Qaeda Iraq's senior minister of information
On the heals of
the still unconfirmed reports of the death of al Qaeda in Iraq's leader, Abu Ayyub
al Masri, the Iraqi Interior Ministry has announced that Abu Omar al-Baghdadi,
the leader of al Qaeda's political front the Islamic State of Iraq, has been
killed during combat in the town of Dhuluiya in Salahadin province. "Abu Omar
al-Baghdadi was killed north of Baghdad by Iraqi and American forces," Hussein
Kamal, the Deputy Interior Minister told Reuters "He died as a result of wounds
sustained in clashes. The Interior Ministry has his body to carry out further
checks."

The US military will neither confirm nor deny:

Major General Caldwell also stated that Multinational Forces Iraq
is not in custody of either al MAsri or al Baghdadi. "We have nobody in our
possession or know of anybody that does, alive or dead, that is going through
any kind of testing or analysis at this point with respect to those two
individuals," he said.

As the Coalition counteroffensive rolls ahead, look for many such spectacular stories, some true and some not. In the end, the finale will come quickly for the terrorists.

Also, with all the news about "Al Qaeda in Iraq" being reported, its becoming difficult for the Left to deny the terrorists are causing most of the problems in the country, but I'm sure they'll think of someway to spin it. Maybe "Al Qaeda who claim they are in Iraq"?
