Here is what Maj. Gen Kevin J. Bergner, Multi-National Force – Iraq spokesman and Mr. Phil Reeker, advisor to the Ambassador, U.S. Embassy, Baghdad, told reporters on Tuesday:

On November 17th, northeast of Samarra, coalition forces killed a senior al-Qaeda in Iraq terrorist named Abu Maysara along with five other al-Qaeda in Iraq terrorists. Abu Maysara, also known as Abu Basha’ir, served as a senior adviser to Abu Ayyub al Masri, the Egyptian-born leader of al-Qaeda in Iraq. Originally from Syria, Abu Maysara was responsible for providing extremist guidance and justifications on terrorist matters to Abu Ayyub al-Masri. He also provided logistical support to al-Qaeda operations and was a key leader in the al-Qaeda in Iraq media network…

This terrorist was one of 40 senior al-Qaeda in Iraq leaders that were captured or killed by coalition and Iraqi security forces in November. Of the 40, 9 were killed and 31 were captured. Four were senior-level Emirs. Nine were Emirs or cell leaders involved in improvised-explosive devices. Eight were foreign terrorist facilitators. Six were involved in media and propaganda cells. And the remaining 13 were facilitators of logistics, communications, and finances.

Abu Maysara was a top Al-Qaeda leader in Iraq… until he wasn’t.
