CENTCOM has released the identities of two more al Qaeda in Iraq terrorist leaders killed in October 29th airstrikes on safehouses. Five were previously identified.

From a CENTCOM press release:

Sources report that he had just replaced Abu Asil who was killed in a coalition air strike a few days prior. He assisted Abu Asil in the smuggling of foreign fighters in the to al Qaim region. He also directed, planned and executed many of the terrorist attacks on Iraqi and Coalition forces, to include VBIED and IED attacks.

He also planned and executed many of the terrorist attacks on Iraqi and Coalition forces in the region, to include VBIED, IED, mortar and direct attacks.

I'm reprinting this story on the off chance that our loyal, unbiased, non-partisan mainstream media completely ignores it.
