Well today Al-Qaeda’s number 3 guy, Abu Laith al-Libi went down in the books. He was killed in Pakistan, the full details have not come in as of yet, but new details, are saying that he was killed by a drone missile. They are saying that al-Libi was the third ranking official for Al-Qaeda.

Abu Laith al-Libi was involved in many different conspiracy’s including, the February 2007 bombing at Bagram Air Base in Afghanistan during the time that Dick Cheney was in the country. He is behind the plotting of multiple attacks on the US, and its forces, as well as afghan officials.

So after the events of the day this has got to be stirring some emotions, in the administration of Al-Qaeda. It would be the equivalent of a member of the presidential administration being taken out, which should cause some major chaos for Al-Qaeda.

This would be a prime time to keep a major outlook on the number one man who I would imagine would take one of two steps. One he either bunkers down deep and lays low to make sure that he cannot be found, to keep out of the reach of our intelligence, or any intelligence for that matter. The second approach that I could see them taking would be for him to keep moving constantly, so that we are always hours behind him, but never catch up.

There is many different tactics that can be taken into consideration, our job would be to find out which one and focus on it. To be able to catch number one would be an extreme increase in comfort, and would put a calming feeling in most, but will not be the end of Al-Qaeda. I would imagine that resources are already being put in place, to replace the fallen member today. Until the complete Al-Qaeda is dissolved, we will not be at peace, nor will the citizen’s of Afghanistan.
