Another Scumbag Goes To Hell
Love those pinpoint U.S. missiles and the decimation they’re wreaking on senior al-Qaeda leadership cowering in Waziristan:
ISLAMABAD (AFP) – The alleged Al-Qaeda mastermind of a 2006 transatlantic airplane bombing plot was killed in a US missile attack in northwest Pakistan early Saturday, after spending almost a year on the run.
Rashid Rauf died when a missile hit a tribesman’s house in the village of Alikhel, part of a border district that is a known stronghold of Al-Qaeda and Taliban militants.
Also among the five killed in the early morning incident was Egyptian Abu Zubair al-Misri, another wanted Al-Qaeda operative, a senior Pakistani security official said on condition of anonymity.
Perhaps now that Rauf is dead (we hope; he’s been reported dead before), we can go back to carrying toiletries onto airplanes. It was Rauf’s plot to blow up transatlantic planes that centered on smuggling explosives onto planes in shaving cream cans and hair gel tubes, and forced us to buy our toiletries in microscopic sized containers.
Until he was blown to smithereens , Rauf was the face of the new jihad against the west. According to the Guardian, he was born in Birmingham, England, the son of a successful baker and had all the benefits and freedoms the West has to offer before he rebelled, stabing (probably) his uncle and fleeing to Pakistan – where he looked up a man who had formerly been the imam in his local Birmingham mosque. Says the Guardian:
Despite speaking very little Urdu, Rauf was soon engaged to marry the imam’s daughter. It was a union that brought him close to an organisation once described as the deadliest terrorist group on the sub-continent.
Rauf’s wife is closely related by marriage to Maulana Masood Azhar, the founder of Jaish-e-Mohammad, or Army of Mohammad …
Rauf’s life proves how easy it is to go from the local western mosque to the heart of Islamic terror. His death proves that at least as long as Bush remains in the presidency, these scum need to cower in fear of iminent death from the sky at all times.

Greetings:I have to object to your headline language. You have no call to associate scumbags with this kind of person. They deserve better.

It’s just one of the limitations of running a non-profanity blog.
