Prominent al Qaeda leaders killed

It was reported on Monday that two of al Qaeda's leaders, Abu Ayyub al-Masri (military leader of al Qaeda in Iraq) and Abu Omar al-Baghdadi (leader of the Islamic State of Iraq) were killed in an operation led by the Iraqi security forces, dealing a damaging blow to the terrorist organization. The news was delivered by Vice President Joe Biden, who appeared at the daily White House briefing to give his report. Mentioned in the report was the growth and improvement of the Iraqi forces, as they were able to carry out this operation based on information they had gathered themselves. We can only wait and see what joint U.S.-Iraqi operations will bring us in the future.
