Iraq: AQ #2 had letters for Bin Laden & al-Masri when killed

Abu Jaafar al-Liby, who was either the second or third most important figure in al-Qaida in Iraq, was killed by police during an operation three days ago, Interior Ministry spokesman Brig. Abdul-Karim Khalaf told The Associated Press.

Al-Liby had been in charge of the Baghdad sector of al-Qaida in Iraq, Khalaf said. He said two letters were found on his body — one for bin Laden and the other for al-Masri, who took over al-Qaida in Iraq from Abu Musab al-Zarqawi after he was killed in a U.S. airstrike north of Baghdad on June 7. Both letters pledged loyalty and promised more attacks.




:crazy:

Were the letters postmarked with a return address?

1. Sure, one was Langley Virginia... and the other was 1600 Pennsylvania Ave.
