A leading al Qaeda member in Afghanistan, Abu Laith al-Libi, has been killed, a Web site often used by the group and other Islamists said on Thursday.

A banner on the Ekhlaas.org site said Libi had fallen as a martyrMURDERER, without giving further details.

It was not immediately clear if Libi’s death was linked to a suspected U.S. missile strike that killed up to 13 foreign militants in Pakistan’s North Waziristan region this week. The attack had targeted second or third tier al Qaeda leaders, according to residents in the tribal area.

Tribesmen in the area had said a deputy of Libi, a senior al Qaeda leader, had been staying there and was among the dead, according to an intelligence official.

    Ring the bell! That was a three-pointer for our side! Another filthy vermin exterminated.

    These reports take a while to get here from the front; by now he has probably already been processed into Hell. I’d love to see the look of dissapointment on his face: “Where are my 72 Virgins”?
