Diese Namen geistern alle paar Wochen durch die Presse, mal hier - mal dort - meiner Erinnerung nach wurde mindestens einer der beiden schon mal in Pakistan getötet, vielleicht auch in Afghanistan, und sonstwo auch schon...
Nun also wieder mal die Gleichen, und diesmal im Irak. Nachzulesen in englischer Sprache ist das hier:
BAGHDAD — The U.S. and Iraq claimed a major victory against al-Qaida on Monday, saying their forces killed the terror group's two top figures in this country in an air and ground assault on their safehouse near Saddam Hussein's hometown.
Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki announced the killings of Abu Omar al-Baghdadi and Abu Ayyub al-Masri at a news conference and showed photographs of their bloody corpses. U.S. military officials later confirmed the deaths, which Vice President Joe Biden called a "potentially devastating blow" to al-Qaida in Iraq.
