Imperial Good News: Ibrahim al-Asiri is Dead Jim!

al Qaeda's top bomb-maker, Ibrahim Hassan al-Asiri DRONED!

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - U.S. President Donald Trump on Thursday confirmed that al Qaeda's top bomb-maker, Ibrahim Hassan al-Asiri, believed to be the mastermind behind the failed bombing of a U.S.-bound airliner in 2009, has been killed.

Trump said in a White House statement that al-Asiri was killed in 2017 in a United States counter-terrorism operation in Yemen. U.S. officials said last year they were confident al-Asiri had been killed but others had said at the time that the evidence was not conclusive. Washington had long sought al-Asiri, a Saudi-born militant with al Qaeda's Yemen branch who was known for his ability to create hard-to-detect bombs, including some implanted in suicide bombers.
