January 13, 2010 6:17 a.m. EST

(CNN) -- The leader of an al Qaeda cell in Yemen has been killed in clashes with security forces, the Yemeni government said Wednesday.

Abdullah al-Mehdarhad, whose name is also spelled as al-Mihdar, led a cell in the Habban region of Yemen's Shabwa province, according to 26sep.net, the Web site for the Yemeni military.

It cited an official source in the Interior Ministry, who said the al Qaeda leader was killed during an exchange of fire with security forces.

Four al Qaeda suspects were arrested in the Maifah district of the same province, the state-run SABA news agency reported.

1. Did number 2 die again, or is this a different guy?

[truthisfreedom]

2. We've entered a world of endless number 2.

Non-stop bullshit.

4. It is AN al-queda leader not THE al-queda leader....and who knows how many

"leaders" there are.

I'm so sick of this over the past 9 years with a different "al-queda" leader killed about once a week.

12. Al CIAda is always hiring

14. How do you expect people to take you seriously?

[Mithreal]

15. Are you implying that our intelligence services had nothing to do with AlQaeda

Those who ignore history and all, you know. I really thought it was common knowledge to DU'ers at least of our ties to terrorism.

May want to check out the BBC documentary, The Power of Nightmares. It has been a while since I watched it but it explains AlQaeda was a CIA invention.

Others taking me seriously is not something I have necessarily set as a goal of mine.

Edit spelling.

10. I bet exactly 30 people were killed! nt

[Mudoria]

3. Good riddance

[Bucky]

5. I'd sure like this to be good news, but I have to wonder if this guy was low hanging fruit

It sure seems like news of major al-Qaeda players getting killed is coming in more frequently under Obama than it was under Mr "I don't really think about Osama bin Laden that much." But the real problem won't be reduced until there's a regional order stability over there that cuts off their supply of young recruits.

6. We have always been at war with Eastasia (and their endless supply of "leaders")

:eyes:

7. Tell Pete Hoekstra on CSPAN

I can't stand this Republican BS. He is blaming the underware bomber on Obama by saying that he didn't recognize the Ft. Hood attack as a Terror Attack. (that is not actually true, but they lie, they lie, they lie.)

[Canuckistanian]

8. Well, then. Problem solved.

Because killing their leaders always works. It scares everyone else off, and the terrorists give up.

:sarcasm:

[Bragi]

9. Fabulous, I'm so relieved

I guess everything will go back to normal again. That's great.

[Doctor_J]

11. Alright. there can't be more than 1 or 2 left

:eyes:

[TheWatcher]

13. They got Emmanuel Goldstein AGAIN?

How many times does this make that they killed him?

7,678, or 7,689?

What does this mean for Chocolate Rations?

Will it affect the Season Premiere of Idol?

[Flaneur]

16. ...and 10 more guys stand up to take his place.

[Mithreal]

17. The military industrial congressional complex is counting on it

[pinniped]

18. They'll just recruit another leader from the al-Qaeda in the northern hemisphere chapter.

If a new #2 isn't unavailable, there may be one from the al-Qaeda of the East African Rift Zone chapter.

[ShortnFiery]

19. OMG! Another amorphous "al Quaeda" killed ... Leader? Suspect? Militant? Look alike?

Any one will do because there's no VERIFICATION of our illustrious Pentagon generated reports. :crazy:

[slackmaster]

20. Roll Up Another One, Just Like The Other One...
