Чувака Замочили Неуправляемым Дроном

Кароче, вроде как ракетой с беспилотного аппарата. Его неделю пасли, но появились опасения, что чувак будет рвать когти.
Unmanned drone kills al-Qaida operative
By Dana Priest
The Washington Post
WASHINGTON — An al-Qaida figure killed last week by a missile from a CIA-operated unmanned aerial drone had been under surveillance for more than a week by U.S. intelligence and military personnel working along the Pakistan-Afghanistan border, a U.S. official and two counterterrorism experts said yesterday.
The U.S. team was hoping Haitham al-Yemeni would lead them to al-Qaida leader Osama bin Laden, said two counterterrorism experts, both former senior U.S. intelligence officials with knowledge of events surrounding the attack.
But after Pakistani authorities captured another al-Qaida leader this month, Abu Faraj al-Libbi, CIA officials became concerned that al-Yemeni would go into hiding and decided to kill him instead, the counterterrorism experts said.
Al-Yemeni's importance in the al-Qaida organization could not be learned yesterday. He is not listed by that name in either the FBI or Pakistani "Most Wanted" list.
The CIA declined comment. Pakistan denied the incident happened.
