In addition to the killing of Mustafa Ahmed Muhammad Uthman Abu al-Yazid, one of Al Qaida's most senior commanders, now comes word that another, less senior, but still important target has been killed as well.
Osama bin Ali bin Abdullah bin Damjan Al-Dawsari was reportedly killed when he was attending a meeting in the house of Omar Khaitab, a close associate of militant commander Maulvi Nazir in South Waziristan on May 28, 2010.
Locals say that Khaitab, two other tribesmen and an Afghan national were killed in the attack. A top U.S. counter- terrorism analyst says, with the killing of Abu al Yazid and now al Dawsari, "it looks like the U.S. intelligence community is dialed into a very good Intel channel."

The U.S. has agreed to expedite request for military equipment. Foreign Minister Shah Mehmood Qureshi said in his own words they agreed to fast-track the requests, that have been pending for months and years, on the transfer of military equipment to Pakistan. Experts say the recent success at capturing a killing key Taliban and Al Qaida operatives help.

Libya has freed the leaders of an al Qaida linked group. The members of the Libyan Islamic Fighting Group claim to have renounced their old ways and connections to al Qaida. The twist here is that Libyan leader Muamar Gaddafi was not in agreement with the release, however his son, Saif al-Islam, who is the leader of the country's reformist movement is the chief proponent of the move. Last year, the group's leaders, while still in prison renowned violence and urged young people to seek inspiration from the Koran.

One of the hallmarks of Al Qaida's attack methodology is to launch a strike and then once the first responders arrive and the TV cameras are rolling to launch a second wave of attacks. That's what happened on September 11, 2001 at the World Trade Center. It happened just a few days ago as well in North Waziristan, bu the shoe was on the other foot. According to U.S. intelligence, missiles fired from drones hit a compound a compound and three vehicles in the village of Mizar Madakhel. After local militants cordoned off the area and began recovering bodies, a second volley of missiles struck.

Is the U.S. sending bunker buster bombs overseas in preparation for an attack? Sources say dozens and maybe many more Blu-387 bombs are being prepped to be shipped from the West Coast to Diego Garcia in the Indian Ocean. What's the target? There are two schools of thought. Number one on the list is Iran. It's a fairly well known fact they have undergrounnd illicit nuclear facilities and uderground facilities are what the Blu 387s are designed for. Theory number two --an assault on an Al Qaida stronghold.

The Pentagon is investigating allegations that official money was used to create an under-the-table group of spys to hunt down terrorists in Afghanistan. In the meantime the list of top al Qaida and Taliban operatives killed or captured continues to grow. Predator drones have been the principle weapon, but human intelligence has been a key as well. Previously, many drone strikes have missed the mark, because of weak or faulty intelligence, the success is appearing to improve.
