AlQaeda chemical weapons expert, killed

(CNN) -- It is a "near certainty" that an al Qaeda chemical weapons expert was killed in a U.S. airstrike in Pakistan's tribal region, a senior Pakistani official said Tuesday.
Reports that Midhat Mursi al-Sayid Umar was killed in a January 2006 airstrike were false.
Pakistan's army refused to confirm reports that the U.S. had carried out an airstrike. Maj. Gen. Athar Abbas, an army spokesman, said the military is still awaiting more details.

I really get confused when I see these reports.

If indeed he was a chemical weapons expert, in Afghanistan/Paksitan, fighting with the Taliban... Why wasnt he using his skills?

Think about it, your the taliban, and you have a chemical weapons expert... yet, you have never used a chemical weapon.

If indeed he was, they would of utilised him by now.
