US 'kills key Iraq al-Qaeda man' (BBC, 12/04/07)

A man killed during fighting in Iraq last month was a key figure in the al-Qaeda in Iraq movement, the US military has said.

Abu Maysara, a Syrian, was a senior adviser to the group's leader, Abu Ayyub al-Masri, a statement said.

Abu Maysara died during a raid near Samarra and was identified using DNA evidence, the military said.

...that we're fighting a global war where not one of our "key figures" is at risk and all theirs get killed.
