An Al Qaeda Commander Killed in Afghanistan
Another Al Qaeda commander has been killed by the U.S. The Americans had a $200,000 bounty on his head. He tried to ******inate Vice President Cheney last year in Afghanistan, say US officials. But one of Al Qaeda's most senior commanders in Afghanistan, Abu Laith al-Libi, appears to be dead. He was killed in a US missile strike in a remote part of Pakistan this week. Mr. Libi was the liaison between the terrorist group and the Taliban, say experts, but they add that his death would not cause much significant operational damage to Osama bin Laden's network.
