NEFA Foundation sources: Fat traitor is indeed dead

I’m away from the site tomorrow and wanted to end the week on a good note. Early rumors said dead; follow-up rumors said dead; late-breaking rumors said dead; Al Qaeda sources said alive; and now late late-breaking rumors say … still dead. From the NEFA report:
Twelve militants were killed in a single missile attack on a residential compound in Khushali Wazir in the Mirali tehsil during the night of January 28. A loud explosion rocked the area at 11:22 p.m. According to well-informed NEFA sources in Pakistan, among those reportedly killed in the attack were senior al-Qa’ida commander Abu Laith al-Libi, his former deputy Abu Suhail, Hamza al-Somali (of Australian or US nationality), and Azzam al-Amriki (an a.k.a. of American al-Qa’ida member Adam Gadahn) [Gadahn’s death has yet to be officially confirmed]. Abu Ubayda Tawari Rakhis al-Mutairi and “Abu Adil”, both from Kuwait, were also reported killed in the attack—along with at least at least three Uzbek nationals. On January 30, the bodies of the 12 foreigners were retrieved and buried in a local graveyard. A large number of local militants had surrounded the site and cordoned it off.
Same exit question as in every other post about this: Why hasn’t AQ gone public about it yet? Even if there wasn’t enough left of him to scrape together a positive ID, he’ll have been missing over a month now. Surely someone put two and two together.

The man deserved to be hanged on a short drop. Our age doesn’t do that; this was the best we could hope for.
I guess it’s good enough.

Buh bye.
Alden Pyle on March 7, 2008 at 7:14 AM
Yup! Pushing up daisies – fertilizer – worm food – best thing he ever did in his miserable life.

Time to light up a cigar

What’s that I hear, why it’s the fat lady singing. :)

“… still dead.”
He can stay that way.

Price of pita just fell.

And this just in: Generalissimo Francisco Franco is still dead

“On January 30, the bodies of the 12 foreigners were retrieved and buried in a local graveyard. A large number of local militants had surrounded the site and cordoned it off.”
Was this another missed opportunity to send more of these nutcases to their just rewards?

Glad to see you go.
Alden Pyle on March 7, 2008 at 8:27 AM
Bye bye Adam… Those loud explosions are not good for you.

I hope the fat ugly bastard suffered intense pain and knew he was dying just like al-Zarqawi did before his miserable life expired.
Hilts on March 7, 2008 at 8:33 AM
bummer.
LtE126 on March 7, 2008 at 8:53 AM
Hamza al-Somali (of Australian or US nationality)…
Really?
Gerard on March 7, 2008 at 9:21 AM
Exactly, why we aren’t double dipping like AQ escapes me. Did they stop making daisy cutters? Draw them in and let’er rip.
bcre8v on March 7, 2008 at 9:26 AM
So the Taliban is expending resources to guard a cemetery. Let’s give them plenty more to guard to further sap their strength.
Just A Grunt on March 7, 2008 at 9:36 AM
Yeah that ‘cordoned off’ thing required a follow up air strike. And then if even more show up to ‘cordon off’ the area we do it again.
We call that “rinse and repeat as necessary”.

Sic semper traitorus

Whoooo!
MarkoMancuso on March 7, 2008 at 10:01 AM
I wonder what his parents are doing?
LimeyGeek on March 7, 2008 at 10:10 AM
As Gadahn said to the female demon opening the gates of Hell:
Madam I’m Adam.
profitsbeard on March 7, 2008 at 10:23 AM
If he is indeed dead, Good. I’d rather he have been captured, and suffered the shame and humiliation at the hands of those he belittled, threatened and betrayed. But no matter, I’m sure he’s with his 72 virgins, only to find out that no one said they’d be virgin girls…. ;-)
DakRoland on March 7, 2008 at 10:45 AM
This breaking news just in:
Al Qaeda Generalissimo Azzam al-Amriki -
is still dead.

Top Ten Reasons al Qaeda Is Not Acknowledging Adam Gadahn’s Death:
10: DNA at the scene contaminated by blubber making ID difficult.
9: Was waiting for Pelosi to lift the wiretapping on our phones.
8: He was the only guy who knew where the “killed by missile” forms are kept.
7: Distracted by the “treasonous sluts” porn kept on his laptop.
6: Too embarassed that our #5 guy was an American Jew.
5: Still waiting to get Osama’s response to our email (hey, anyone see him lately?).
4: Too busy with organizing the next Ron Paul meetup.
3: #1 on the task list of the next traitorous dillhole we recruit for our media position.
2: Plan to make the announcement at the opening of the Adam Gadahn Sheep Brothel.
1: Too busy fighting over his secret stash of Red Vines and Snapple.

Since his parents are liberal lefties from NoCal they are probably busy protesting his death somewhere in Berkeley raging against the evil empire that is Bushitler/Darth Cheney…
Liberty or Death on March 7, 2008 at 11:02 AM
And the fat one is the latest terrorist to stop and say:
WHAT? there really are NO VIRGINS….uh, why’s it so darn HOT here?
shooter on March 7, 2008 at 11:09 AM
thats funny!
shooter on March 7, 2008 at 11:11 AM
Instead of 72 virgins I hope that fat boy gets one 72 year old virgin who looks like a combo of Madeline Albright and Helen Thomas.
Hilts on March 7, 2008 at 11:48 AM
May the first words he hears in the afterlife be “bring out The Gimp”.
Chuck Schick on March 7, 2008 at 12:11 PM
Lefty take – Bushitler is now assassinating American dissidents.
eeyore on March 7, 2008 at 12:20 PM
Why do I suspect Gadahn was tracked to this location, leading to the vaporous dispersion of 12 foreign militants? After all, we don’t usually partake in the festivities in Pakistan.
If AQ suspects the same, they’ll try to hide his demise so they don’t acknowledge they were pwn3d.
desertdweller on March 7, 2008 at 12:28 PM
Perhaps Francisco Franco can confirm?
thirtypundit on March 7, 2008 at 2:32 PM
Judging by the size of his gut, he’ll burn like a tire dump for eternity.
Capitana on March 7, 2008 at 3:56 PM
Wow! 72 virgins! All with red complexions, horns, pointy tails and pitchforks! Paradise at last! Now let’s see if we can turn down the thermostat to a comfortable 1200 degrees or so…
Jonas Parker on March 7, 2008 at 4:38 PM
WOO HOO!!!
Shirotayama on March 7, 2008 at 5:22 PM
Rumor has it that they bury him face down and are using him for a bicycle stand…
