Egyptian / Iranian Al-Qaeda Militant Killed In Pakistan Strike: Official
Mohammad Hasan Khalil al-Hakim AKA Abu Jihad al-Masri was purported by US authorities to operate in Iran as the head of media and propaganda for al-Qaeda, and “may also be the Chief of External Operations for al Qaeda”. The name Abu Jihad is an informal or assumed name meaning roughly “father of the holy war”, and al-Masri simply means the Egyptian.
And now - He is worm food.

ISLAMABAD (AFP)  A wanted Egyptian Al-Qaeda operative who has appeared in some of the terror network’s videos was killed in a suspected US missile strike in Pakistan, a security official said Saturday.
Abu Jihad al-Masri was among several rebels killed when two missiles fired by a spy drone hit a truck in the North Waziristan tribal region bordering Afghanistan on Friday night, the senior official said.
The United States has offered a one million dollar reward for the death or capture of Al-Masri, according to the Rewards for Justice website run by the US State Department.
