Reports announcing that a man dubbed “Al Qaeda’s Mad Scientist” was killed by a CIA drone strike on the Afghanistan-Pakistan Border have conveniently ignored the fact that the same guy was already announced dead two years ago by Pakistani authorities.
Multiple mainstream media reports have claimed that Chemical Weapons Expert Abu Khabab Al-Masri was killed in a missile attack on Monday.
One of al Qaeda’s top chemical and biological weapons experts was killed in an air strike by a CIA pilotless drone in a remote Pakistani border region, senior Pakistani intelligence officials told CBS News Tuesday morning. Intelligence officials investigating the early Monday missile attack confirmed that Midhat Mursi al-Sayid Umar, also known as Abu Khabab al-Masri was one of six men killed and his remains had been positively identified.
Flashback to January 2006 however, and we find that Mr al-Masri was already announced thoroughly dead:
ABC News has learned that Pakistani officials now believe that al Qaeda’s master bomb maker and chemical weapons expert was one of the men killed in last week’s U.S. missile attack in eastern Pakistan. Midhat Mursi, 52, also known as Abu Khabab al-Masri, was identified by Pakistani authorities as one of four known major al Qaeda leaders present at an apparent terror summit in the village of Damadola early last Friday morning. The United States had posted a $5 million reward for Mursi’s capture.
