Al Qaeda Commander in Afghanistan Dead

Good bye! You won't be missed

FOXNews.com - Web Site: Al Qaeda Commander in Afghanistan Dead - International News | News of the World | Middle East News | Europe News: "Al-Libi was an Al Qaeda training camp leader who has appeared in many Internet videos and who the U.S. says was likely behind the Feb. 2007 bombing at the U.S. base at Bagram during a visit by U.S. Vice President Dick Cheney that killed 23 people.

A knowledgeable Western official said that 'it appears at this point that Al-Libi has met his demise,' but declined to talk about the circumstances. 'It was a major success in taking one of the top terrorists in the world off the street,' the official said. He added that the death occurred 'within the last few days.'

Al-Libi was a key link between the Taliban and Al Qaeda.

He was listed among the 12 most-wanted men the U.S. offered a US$200,000 reward for five.

Pakistani counterterrorism officials say al-Libi — 'the Libyan' in Arabic language — has served as an Al Qaeda spokesman and commander in eastern Afghanistan. They say they have no information on his current whereabouts."
