ATAQ, YEMEN (BNO NEWS) -- Senior al-Qaeda operative Fahd Mohammed Ahmed al-Quso, who was wanted in connection for his alleged role in the 2000 bombing of the USS Cole, was killed Sunday in a U.S. drone strike in southeast Yemen, officials said. Several suspected militants were killed on Sunday when a U.S. drone carried out an airstrike on a vehicle in the eastern province of Shabwah, although the exact location was not immediately released. "An airstrike killed Fahd al-Quso in Shabwah," said Mohammed Albasha, a spokesman for the Yemeni Embassy in Washington, D.C. Al-Quso, 37, was previously indicted by the United States over his alleged role in the October 12, 2000, bombing of the USS Cole in Yemen, killing 17 sailors and injuring 39 others. He was arrested by Yemeni authorities in April 2003 but escaped from prison soon after. He was recaptured about 11 months later, convicted by a Yemeni court and then released in 2007 despite U.S. protests. Al-Qaeda's media arm As-Sahab confirmed the death of al-Quso, who was a senior operative for Al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula (AQAP). The top militant had been reported killed on several occasions in recent years, but those reports were never confirmed by either al-Qaeda or the governments involved. Most recently, in late 2010, reports emerged citing intelligence officials that al-Quso had been killed on September 8 in a U.S. drone attack in Pakistan's North Waziristan. But months later, in mid-December 2010, the Arabic newspaper Asharq Al-Awsat said one of its reporters had met with al-Quso in the mountainous Shabwa governorate in southeast Yemen. Asharq Al-Awsat reported that al-Quso expressed his surprise at reports that he had been killed in Pakistan and described them as a 'rumor'. Al-Quso also said he was surprised about reports that he was in Waziristan, particularly in light of "the situation in Yemen, which is similar to the situation in Pakistan." Al-Quso was asked if he had received offers from the Yemeni government to surrender himself in return for certain guarantees and promises, but he did not comment on this specifically. "We will not give up our religion and the principles that we hold in our hearts. This is unlikely," he said at the time, according to the newspaper. Al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula, which has orchestrated high-profile attacks since 2009, is based primarily in the tribal areas outside of the Yemeni capital city Sanaa, which remain outside the control of the Yemeni government. But the United States and Yemen have been cooperating to combat the militants. Most notably, AQAP sent Nigerian-born Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab who attempted to detonate an explosive device aboard a Northwest Airlines flight on December 25, 2009. This was the first attempted U.S. homeland attack by an al-Qaeda affiliate since the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks.

F' him and ALL like him. The only thing wrong with this is that we can't kill him again. F' him and ALL like him. KILL ALL of them. F' him and ALL like him. No mercy, NO quarter. Unless we need them, so as to torture them for information to use to KILL more of them. F' him and ALL like him. I'll see you soon shipmates, we ALL will. F' him and ALL like him.
The only thing wrong with this is that we can't kill him again. So you now support murdering suspects too. So you're in the death cult too. Sad.
WTF are you yammering about stone? "SUSPECT"? this isn't a fucking criminal TRIAL, it's FUCKING WAR. THAT'S a FUCKING BATTLEGROUND over there stone, shall we wait for inditements and convictions before our forces act stone? What I am STONE is a US NAVY VIETNAM COMBAT vet, and I see you ignorant polly annish cunts are doing to our forces who are IN THE FIELD TODAY/NOW what you did to US IN VIETNAM. I WILL NOT STAND BY SILENTLY WHILE YOU SIMPERING BITCHES STAB OUR TROOPS IN THEIR BACKS AGAIN. Either get the FUCK OUT OF THE WAY AND LET THE MILITARY DO IT'S FUCKING JOB, (a job that YOU and ALL AMERICANS have ORDERED them to do btw stone), OR GET THEM ALL OUT OF THERE YESTERDAY. We are at WAR, get it child? It's FUCKING WAR you polly annish asshole. Why is it OK to get AMERICAN SERVICE MEMBERS KILLED Stone being "careful" not to break civil society FUCKING "rules" stone? We are at WAR, civil society hasn't FUCK all to do with anything, get it child? It's FUCKING WAR you polly annish asshole. (Now disappear this post because I cussed. I cuss very well but I don't know FOUL enough words to describe what YOU and other morons are doing RIGHT NOW to our TROOPS/FORCES in the FIELD. You and your ilk are DESPICABLE especially those FRAUDS of you who claim to be US CONSERVATIVES.)
You are not a combat veteran, you are a REMF. You sat in the rear and supported those who were combat veterans. That's quite a bit of puffery on your part to turn looking at a radar screen into status as a combat veteran.
LOL! The US NAVY and DEPARTMENT of DEFENSE disagree with you cunt. So I'm going to go with them on this eh bitch? You've never even seen Vietnam have you bitch? You couldn't even find it on a map could you bitch? But this sure COMPLETELY EXPLAINS YOUR TRUE PERSONA cornflake gurl that you would try again to slur me as an individual, instead of supporting my point about OUR forces already in the field. I guess that IF you had ever actually been involved in fighting a WAR for years you'd have some sense of it's burden and duty. BUT, you have never even been to where the elephant lives have you cornflake gurl? No matter. This isn't about me or you bitch, (of course you are TRYING to make it so). It's 100% about OUR forces NOW who are already in the field, at WAR. You wouldn't know anything about being in the field/operating/underway for YEARS would you bitch? You really are a lothsome cowardly little cunt cornflake gurl. You are EXACTLY why animals eat their young. PUSSY
Combat Navy pilot standing, REMF radar screen sucking his head goober on the ground, spreading his legs.

Of course I bet that none of them would ever accept your worthless ass. Face it brianna, meterosexuals look butch compared to you tinker bell. (btw brianna that yogurt thing is NOT helping your cause.) LMAO!!!!!!!!!
Most of those I've encounter in life that have to brag about their 'military service' really have NOTHING to brag about at all. You one of those? Betcha are.
You one of those? Betcha are. You can look up Nolu Chan's posts to him on this forum for proof.
ROTFLMAO!!!!!!! yeah for PROOF that nolu Chan is a lying ignorant bitch. That fool claimed that my rate didn't even exist! LOL! IDIOT! That foul stupid bitch TRIED to claim to be a USN lifer, but then when pressed could never provide even ONE detail of any sort. That stupid bitch posted pages and pages of gibberish from BuPers and others describing a US NAVY that did NOT exist during the Vietnam WAR. Pages and pages of misinformation and absolutely inapplicable bullshit, of shit that had NOTHING to do with me, my ships, or fucking anything I had ever talked about. ROTFLMAO!!!!!!!!!!!! I sent that posuer LYING piece of shit running away crying with the TRUTH! LMAO! Address the substance of this thread you stupid gibbering hate filled libTURD whore. I already know that you are a foul, lying, stupid libTURD whore. TRY to focus fool. Tell us all why it's OK to stab OUR forces, who are in the field RIGHT NOW whore, in the back whore.

(btw whore, you've never served even a second in the US Armed forces, have you whore?)
nolu chan was correct. Mad dawgs don't get ratings; they get lice, ticks, fleas and put to sleep when their appeal as a cute little puppy is all over.

. This is exactly why you are on my ignore and why you are staying there cunt. We're talking about OUR forces currently in the field, and if it's OK to just FUCKING abandon them. You CLAIM to be a vet you foul LYING cunt, yet you spew your stupid inane bullshit trying to make "points" "against" me, even if it hurts THEM. You are a foul, bitter little mean spirited bitch, and we ALL know you to be exactly that phuckaroo. Phuckaroo you are a twisted, sick, foul, useless, LYING, slimy POS gibbering cunt. Any "vet" who can't put themselves aside on THIS specific issue is just less than useless TRASH. But, of course phuckaroo we ALL already know here that's what you are, that you are as useless as you are nasty and foul, creep. Good luck wit dat scum sucker. PS; Eat Shit And DIE creep.
