Iraq: Al Qaeda Leader Killed In Baghdad
October 4, 2008

U.S. forces in Iraq killed Abu Rami, an al Qaeda leader believed to have masterminded a wave of recent bombings in Baghdad, Monsters and Critics reported Oct. 4, citing a statement from the U.S. Army. Rami was killed in Adkhamiyah, a Sunni district in Baghdad, on Oct. 3 after intelligence reports led U.S. soldiers to the building where he was hiding. The soldiers came under fire from inside the building and returned fire, killing Rami and an unnamed woman. Rami, also known as Abu Assad and Mahir Ahmad Mahmud Judu al-Zubaydi, is believed to have exercised a great amount of control over terrorist operations in Baghdad’s Rusafa neighborhood and other areas in the city.

Our military must really want to get the conflict done and over with.

But wait? Wasn't the leader in Iraq already killed before?

So do the Al-qaeada in Iraq team keep on adding new leaders over and over again so when we think we have them beaten they just keep coming? Is this their game? Making them think they're gone but they aren't?

Well, it's only logical for them to appoint a new leader when the old one is killed. If the president were killed you wouldn't just leave the position unfilled would you?
