Al-Qaeda Suffers Serious Blow

"If you're going to cut an innocent Amercian's head off on camera, cover up your face with a towel!"



Al-Qaeda's two top leaders were killed on Sunday in Iraq, signaling a severe crimp in their operation's overall security. Abu Ayyub al-Masri and Abu Omar al-Baghdadi, both of whom took over after the Master of Beheading, Abu Mussab al-Zarqawi, was blown to bits in an air raid, were killed during a Coalition led raid.

But the group's effectiveness to wage their brutal version of war against both the west and Judeo-Christians in general, has clearly been compromised. For more on the story.
