No doubt, the official cause of death might more properly be listed as “Advanced Islamic Medical Care.”

hepatitis, they said.

Ah, but which hepatitis strain, A, B, or C, etc? That would clue us in a bit on how he contracted it.

Also, I hope he didn’t infect any poor helpless sheep while living in those lonely caves…

Which makes it remarkably coincidental that this announcement should come a scant six days after the LA Times published a long profile.

Ugh. A long profile indeed, describes him as “tanned and muscular.”

He must have missed the sign on the cave wall that read “All terrorists must wash hands before returning to blow up innocent infidels.”

I recall reports of Hajis taking suspicious trips to the airplane toilets in flight. We get lectures about taking bottles of shampoo in our luggage. I think of these dopes often when in the airport. F them all.

The senior militant, an Egyptian who used the nom de guerre Abu Ubaida al-Masri, recently succumbed to hepatitis, they said.

1 – Medhat Mursy (Abu Khababa Al Masry) (52 years old),
2 – Abd El Rahman Al Maghraby (Al Zawahry son-in-law),
3 – Abu Obaida Al Masry, and
4 – Mustafa Osman

Were killed in early 2006 by a U.S. air strike in Pakistan.

I’m guessing the CIA dropped some infected, young sheep with eye makeup near a group of caves, and the warriors of Mohamed had their way with them. Brilliant.

Hep was too good for him… Sorry. I hope his death was painful and agonizing though.

I’d prefer that he died at the hands of Americans. Since he didn’t, I hope it hurt. And, that he spread it to all his little friends before he went.

Was he married to Pamela Anderson too?

Seriously though, something like this surely strikes at the credibilty of AQ as warriors of God, right? Our propaganda guys need to push this in every arabic newspaper thats in print and get the word out that AQ is a bunch a deranged loons with none too savory or, er, holy habits and lifestyles.
