BAGHDAD, Iraq -- The U.S. military announced Wednesday that an insurgent killed last month had been identified as a senior leader of al Qaeda in Iraq. Separately, a bomb explosion in the northern province of Ninevah killed three children and wounded another two, the U.S. military said, quoting Iraqi police.

Abu Abdullah, also known as Muhammad Sulayman Shunaythir al-Zubai, was killed north of Baghdad on Nov. 8, the military said, calling him "an experienced bomb maker and attack planner who coordinated numerous attacks on Coalition and Iraqi forces over the past three years, using a variety of improvised explosive devices combined with small-arms fire."

He was also described as a former associate of al Qaeda in Iraq leader Abu Musab al-Zarqawi -- who was slain by U.S. forces last year.

7. I thought they did that already -- several times. Does this guy keep resurrecting or ...

... has our government/military simply become so Orwellian that they think we don't notice?

NOW can we bring the troops home?

[NV Whino]

14. It's soooo hard

to keep track of the number of number 2 guys. What's going to happen if they run out of number 2s?

[Historic NY]

I'd want to be the #4 guy he seems to never get touched.

[IDemo]

16. a bear in the woods doesn't have as many #2's as Al Qaeda n/t
