The U.S. military announced today that it has killed a “senior leader of al Qaeda in Iraq.” Brig. Gen. Joseph Anderson “identified the man as Abu Usama al-Tunisi, a Tunisian described as a close associate and likely successor to Abu Ayyub al-Masri, Al-Qaeda in Iraq’s Egyptian leader.”[...]
But terrorism analyst Evan Kohlman issued a “global terror alert” last year stating that al-Tunisi had died in July 2006.
We've been here before. Several times. As far as my post research goes, the first time we used the capture announcement tactic on someone who either didn't exist or was already in custody or dead, it was a guy named al-Douri. It's apparently a formula that keeps on working.
....but hey, do what you want....you will anyway.
