"A key link in the VBIED network has been removed"
This is apparently military-speak for the killing of an Al Qaeda leader in Baghdad. CENTCOM reports:
Coalition Forces killed a terrorist leader and detained three other suspected terrorists during an operation in Baghdad June 5 to disrupt a bombing network in the city. . .Let's hope that the net effect of this is to save lives in Baghdad.
Muhammad Mahmud 'Abd Kazim Husayn al-Mashadani, also known as Abu Abdullah, was the terrorist killed during the raid. He was a known al-Qaeda emir in the Hay al-Jamah area of Baghdad and part of a deadly vehicle-borne improvised explosive device cell. He was positively identified...by associates and individuals detained during the raid.
"A key link in the VBIED network has been removed," said Lt. Col. Christopher Garver, MNF-I spokesperson. "We will continue to assault the VBIED network in order to stop their indiscriminate attacks against the people of Iraq."
