Akhtar Mohammad Osmani, Confirmed Dead

It's just not been a good week to be a terrorist. What, with their poor performance in Somalia and now this!

Reuters via WaPo: But a senior Taliban commander who declined to be identified confirmed Osmani had been killed.

"He has died. We got this information on the day of the strike but our leadership ordered us not to disclose it," the commander, speaking by telephone, told a Reuters reporter in the Pakistani border town of Chaman.

"He was not only an experienced military commander but also good in making financial transactions for us. He had good contacts," he said, without elaborating.

"His death will have some bad impact on our movement for some time," he added.

Hurry brave mujahadbeens, run to Iraq, the Jihad needs you!. No wait, run to Afghanistan, the jihad needs you! No wait, run to Somalia the African Taliban of Losers needs you!

Rather than shiver with nervousness over the fact that freedom is fighing on multiple fronts, think about what this means to the Islamists. They are much less capable of sustaining three fronts. Sure they can kill innocents and make trouble like they always do, but that is about it. What little actual power they have is very fragile.
