Al Qaeda Honcho Killed by 'Worshipers of the Cross'

Another dead mutant done in by worshipers of the cross.

A PROMINENT member of Al-Qaeda has been killed in fighting with US-led forces in Afghanistan, the group said in a statement posted on an Islamist website today.

Abu Suleiman al-Otaibi, formerly one of the group's leaders in Iraq, was killed in a "fierce battle with the worshipers of the cross" in Paktia, it said without giving the date of the battle.

Another Al-Qaeda member, identified as Abu Dejana al-Qahtani, also died in the fighting, it added.

The leader of Al-Qaeda in Afghanistan Mustafa Abu al-Yazid said Qahtani left Iraq about six months ago without giving further details.

Otaibi was the head of the judiciary at the self-styled Islamic State in Iraq, a group started by Al-Qaeda and fellow Sunni militant groups.

I guess he left when he found out there was no al Qaeda in Iraq.
