BULLSEYE! An al-Qaeda honcho and five minions won an all-expense paid trip to Hell yesterday courtesy of the United States. While enjoying a Sunday drive in Yemen, Qaed Salim Sinan al-Harethi and his chums found their car on the business end of an American Hellfire missile. Unfortunately for Qaed Salim Sinan al-Harethi, AAA's roadside assistance program doesn't cover Hellfire missile attacks. The Associated Press has the details
here.
Aside from the AAA confusion, the attack was a win-win situation for all parties. For the United States, it was a high-profile success which marked "America's first overt attack on suspected al-Qaida operatives outside of Afghanistan." And for Qaed Salim Sinan al-Harethi, it means he'll no longer be subjected to signing that ponderous name on his checks.
