A U.S. military helicopter fired a guided missile to kill a wanted al-Qaida in Iraq leader from Saudi Arabia who was responsible for the bombing deaths of five American soldiers, a spokesman said Sunday.U.S. Navy Rear Adm. Gregory Smith said Jar Allah, also known as Abu Yasir al-Saudi, and another Saudi known only as Hamdan, were both killed Wednesday in Mosul.
According to the military, al-Saudi conducted numerous attacks against Iraqi and U.S. forces, including a Jan. 28 bomb attack that killed the five U.S. soldiers.
In that attack, insurgents blasted a U.S. patrol with a roadside bomb and showered survivors with gunfire from a mosque. The soldiers died in the explosion, the deadliest on American forces since six soldiers perished Jan. 9 in a booby-trapped house north of Baghdad.
Intelligence gathered in the Mosul area led the U.S. military to al-Saudi, who was in a car with Hamdan. A precision helicopter strike killed both and destroyed their vehicle. U.S. forces then confirmed the men's identities.
Smith said their deaths brought to 142 the number of al-Qaida insurgents killed or captured in Mosul since the end of January.
Remember -- these are the Islamist swine who are murdering American servicemen in the name of Muhammad. They are making war on the United States, and so we have rightly given war right back to them -- so don't ask why we didn't simply capture them and put them on trial. The reality of war is that you kill the enemy, not arrest him and give him a lawyer.
Oh, and Senator Obama -- please note that al-Qaeda is in Iraq. Your proposed withdrawal of American troops would therefore violate your insistence that American troops would fight in Iraq if al-Qaeda was there.
