Abu M Al-Masri has gone to meet his maker with some assistance (probably some helpful Israelis). This happened in August, but it has taken a while to establish that the victim, at first thought to be an academic named as Habib Dawood was actually a founder member of Al Qaeda.
Al-Masri was reckoned to be the brains behind the 1998 US embassy bombing in Nairobi. The fact that he was shot exactly 22 years later on the anniversary of the bombing is unlikely to be a coincidence.
This brightened my day a little when I read it this morning, so I thought I would relay the news on.
