Al-Qaeda's Beta Leader is killed by a U.S. Air Strike

Abu Yahya Al-Libi was confirmed to have been killed by a CIA air strike on Tuesday.

al-Libi, who was the assumed successor after Bin Laden's death led Al-Qaeda's actions, and acted as their spiritual leader as well. With his death comes new found confusion for the Al-Qaeda as they don't have a clear successor; and a new found vigor in the attempts of the U.S. to shut down the terrorist group for good.

yay for the U.S.! i think that this is a huge breakthrough following the death of Bin Laden; after that, things went a little stagnant. but this shows that our long-term efforts paid off in the end.

however, groups like these have a nasty reputation of being stubbornly hard to remove, and so, the U.S. is going to have to zero in on the remaining areas before we can relax just yet.
