Ive been in firms that went through number 3's much faster than that, if through somewhat less violent means.

Jesus Christ, people, Al Zawahiri is the AQ #2. Dont y'all know that by now? Its the number 3s, the operation chiefs, weve gotten in the past, which makes sense, cause by the nature of the job the ops chief cant stay quite as remote and seperate from all direct contact with lower ranking people as OBL and Zawahiri can. And IF this guy is really number 3, I think that makes him the third number 3 whos been captured and killed.

I doubt that there was much of a connection. Al-Iraqi was apparently working in the NWFP of Pakistan so, given AQ's modular nature, probably didn't have much information about plots going on in Riyadh.
Good for the Saudis, esp the factions that are genuinely anti-AQ
Now the question is, was this done with intell gleaned from Al-Iraqi? IE Al-Iraqi is singing? Or was this network something we and KSA intell knew about already, and it was disrupted now, so AQ would THINK that Al-Iraqi is singing?

he wouldnt necessarily have needed details of the plot, just how to get to a key cell leader in KSA, and KSA intell could have done the rest. Is it even clear who AQ in KSA reports to? I dont think they were ever part of the Zarqawi group, that would make the cell head in KSA a direct report to Al - Iraqi, probably.Originally posted by Ramo

I have no idea who they report to. It makes sense that they'd be closer to the Afghan/NWFP branch than Zarqawi, but that's not saying much. But due to their access to KSA cash - and tons of it, it's entirely possible that they're not at all dependent on, and therefore don't take their cue from, that "central" branch."Beware of the man who works hard to learn something, learns it, and finds himself no wiser than before.

What about the other 70,000 armed combatants fighting against us in Iraq? So we're at 69,999.
