The Long War Journal: Al Qaeda's East Africa chief Fazul Mohammed killed in Somalia:
Somali officials confirmed today that Fazul Abdullah Mohammed, al Qaeda's leader in East Africa and a senior Shabaab commander, was killed at a Somali military checkpoint in Mogadishu earlier this week. Fazul is one of the most wanted terrorists in East Africa for his role in attacks on US embassies in Kenya and Tanzania as well as his role within Shabaab.
Including Bin Laden, that's the third high level Al Qaeda leader that's been dispatched in the past two months.
