Joint CIA-Mossad Op Eliminates Al-Qaeda No. 2 Hiding in Iran
The London Times: Al Qaeda second-in-command taken out “at the behest of President Trump’s administration.”
The world is a much safer place thanks to a recently revealed U.S.-Israel covert operation that killed Al Qaeda’s second-in-command, Abdullah Ahmed Abdullah, hiding in Iran.
Abdullah, who went by his jihadi name Abu Muhammad al-Masri, was on the FBI’s most-wanted list and was plotting further terrorist attacks at the time of the strike.
The leading Al-Qaeda figure was believed to be the mastermind of the bombing of the U.S. American embassies in Kenya and Tanzania in 1998, which killed 224 people and injured over 5,000. He was shot and killed in Iran’s capital Tehran by two Israeli operatives on August 7, the anniversary of the embassy bombings, media reports said.
Among those eliminated in the anti-terrorism operation was Abdullah’s 27-year-old daughter Maryam bin Laden, one of Osama bin Laden’s daughters-in-laws, who was being groomed for a leadership role in the terrorist organization, news reports confirmed.
The killing of a high-level Al Qaeda operative on Iranian soil once again highlights the Mullah regime’s foremost role in promoting a worldwide Islamic jihad. The story was first broken by the New York Times on Friday.
The Associated Press on Sunday reported the details of the anti-terror operation:
The United States and Israel worked together to track and kill a senior al-Qaida operative in Iran earlier this year, a bold intelligence operation by the two allied nations that came as the Trump administration was ramping up pressure on Tehran.
Four current and former U.S. officials said Abu Mohammed al-Masri, al-Qaida’s No. 2, was killed by assassins in the Iranian capital in August. The U.S. provided intelligence to the Israelis on where they could find al-Masri and the alias he was using at the time, while Israeli agents carried out the killing, according to two of the officials. The two other officials confirmed al-Masri’s killing but could not provide specific details.
Al-Masri was gunned down in a Tehran alley on Aug. 7, the anniversary of the 1998 bombings of the U.S. embassies in Nairobi, Kenya, and Dar es Salaam, Tanzania. Al-Masri was widely believed to have participated in the planning of those attacks and was wanted on terrorism charges by the FBI.
Al-Masri’s death is a blow to al-Qaida, the terror network that orchestrated the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks in the U.S, and comes amid rumors in the Middle East about the fate of the group’s leader, Ayman al-Zawahiri. The officials could not confirm those reports but said the U.S. intelligence community was trying to determine their credibility.
Two of the officials — one within the intelligence community and with direct knowledge of the operation and another former CIA officer briefed on the matter — said al-Masri was killed by Kidon, a unit within the secretive Israeli spy organization Mossad allegedly responsible for the assassination of high-value targets. In Hebrew, Kidon means bayonet or “tip of the spear.”
Al Qaeda’s second-highest leader was planning attacks on Jews and Israelis at the time of the operation, Israeli TV channels revealed. The Times of Israel news website reported the coverage in the Israeli media:
“Abu Muhammad al-Masri had recently begun planning attacks against Israelis and Jewish targets in the world,” the Israeli TV report said, quoting unnamed Western intelligence sources. This further underlined why the US and Israel had a “shared interest” in the elimination of this “arch-terrorist,” it said. The US was seeking him for orchestrating two devastating attacks on embassies in Africa in the 1990s, while Israel alleges he oversaw the 2002 suicide bombing of an Israeli-owned hotel in Kenya in which three Israelis were killed.
The killing of al-Masri was the result of a huge, year-long operation, that went off without a hitch, the Israeli report said. The New York Times story said he was shot dead in Tehran by two Israeli agents on a motorbike, who fired five bullets at close range.
The killing of al-Masri was the result of a huge, year-long operation, that went off without a hitch, the Israeli report said. (…) The Channel 12 report specified that the gunmen were Mossad agents. Israel’s Channel 13, by contrast, said the gunmen were likely “foreign agents activated by Israel.”
Channel 13 further said Iran now fears further operations against terrorist chiefs in Tehran by Israel and the United States in the final weeks of the Trump presidency.
The latest high-profile anti-terror operation again shows President Donald Trump’s resolve to strike a decisive blow at Iran’s terrorist capabilities as his first term comes to a close. The senior Al Qaeda operative was taken out “at the behest of President Trump’s administration,” London-based newspaper The Times confirmed.
The White House is continuing with its policy of ‘maximum pressure’ on Iran. Early January, President Trump ordered a drone strike near Baghdad that successfully took out the head of Iran’s foreign terrorist operations, Qasem Soleimani. Last week, the U.S. Treasury targeted Iran’s global weapons supply network. Several companies, including China-based ones, were blacklisted as part of the latest sanctions.
“The Iranian regime utilizes a global network of companies to advance its destabilizing military capabilities,” Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin said on Wednesday. “The United States will continue to take action against those who help to support the regime’s militarization and proliferation efforts.”
Thrilled by the mainstream media reports declaring Democratic candidate Joe Biden winner of the U.S. presidential race, Iran’s Mullahs are rushing ahead with their nuclear weapons program. The nuclear watchdog International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) reported on Wednesday that Tehran’s stockpile of enriched uranium had crossed the 2,440kg-mark, 12 times higher than the permissible limit. The amount is “theoretically enough to produce two nuclear weapons,” BBC confirmed.
Iran’s nuclear gamble, driven probably by the regime’s premature euphoria over a Biden-Harris presidency, could backfire as President Trump is still in command of the White House. According to media reports, the U.S. president recently ‘asked for options on strike on Iran nuclear site.’

Better hurry. If Biden wins, we’ll be giving these bozos money.
Biden/Harris will also sell the Israelis out, by name if they can, just like the Obama/Biden WH sold out the Israelis before. Recall that the Israelis and US (no doubt pre-Obama) had developed the malware STUXNET. Once loaded on the Iranian secure information system at their nuclear facilities it slowed down the centrifuges so they couldn’t enrich lower grade ore into weapons-grade plutonium. But STUXNET made it appear to the scientists and technicians at the facilities that the centrifuges were operating well above the threshold speed to produce the weapons-grade plutonium they needed to make bombs.
The Obama/Biden WH sold out their Israeli enemies to their Iranian jock boyfriends/high school crushes.
They also tricked the Israelis into NOT assassinating Qasem Soleimani, the IRGC Quds Force terrorist mastermind behind thousands of Israeli and American killings. They pretended to be on the Israelis side, agonizing over their best interests. Until the window of opportunity closed then they called Netanyahu “chickens***” for failing to strike. (To be fair, the Obama admin may have called Netanyahu “chickens***” for failing to launch an air strike on Iranian nuclear facilities; in any case they tricked Netanyahu into listening to them, then pointed and laughed very publicly if he ‘effed up and listened to them).
But talking the Israelis out of assassinating Soleimani also cost American lives. The traitors in the WH didn’t just sell out our allies to our enemies they liked better. They sold this country out to our enemies, and theirs, to screw over Americans they despised (the mainstream elected Dems are playing down the numbers of Americans they believe are “bitter clingers” and “deplorables.” they are hard leftists working hard to not say the quiet part out loud, but they just can’t help from letting the mask slip).
Recall the Obama/Biden administration broke the law by trading their fellow traitor Bo Berghdahl for five cabinet/general officer-level Taliban officials. Naturally Susan Rice couldn’t help letting the mask slip when she said Berghdahl had served “honorably.” As far as leftists like her are concerned the only honorable thing for her and her fellow travelers is to betray the country whenever they are in a position to due so.
But not only did they break the law requiring they give Congress 30 days notice before conducting such prisoner swaps. They compounded the felonies by paying millions of dollars in ransom for Bergdahl. Something that never became widespread public knowledge despite the fact it was widely known in intel circles. You know, the people who the MFM loves to listen to, who have info they love to broadcast to the world. When it hurts the U.S. in general and Trump in particular.
But in this case the leaks were rock solid. The Taliban weren’t holding Bergdahl prisoner. The Haqqani Network had grabbed and were holding him. They’re not just a terrorist group, they’re an organized crime family (lots of terrorist groups are; see Hezbollah). The Taliban got five high ranking officials back; great for them. But the Haqqani network only works with the Taliban when there’s something in it for them. There was nothing in the official story that hinted the Haqqani crime family got anything out of the deal the Obama/Biden crime families made with the Taliban. And there’s no way in hell’s creation the Haqqani network gave up the winning PowerBall lottery ticket for nothing.
So, just like the Obama/Biden crime syndicate tried to send pallets of cash to the Ayatollahs in unmarked commercial aircraft they sent stolen government funds to the Haqqani network to complete the criminal transaction.
I don’t apologize for my terms; I’m not going to soften the impact of what the Obama/Biden crime syndicate did by even using terms like “misappropriated.” That might be more accurate, but it still means using funds illegally instead of the legal purpose for which Congress appropriated the funds. It’s still a heist.
And now it looks like they’re back.
Hit DEM. Hit DEM hard!
It’s a good thing. – MAGA Stewart

It would be very interesting to see what effect this action had on the recent Israeli-Arab agreements. We may never know. But the timing is interesting.
Nobody likes to be number two.
I thought the CIA didn’t do assassinations any more.
hey farmed this one out to someone that still knows how.
You don’t win by giving up.
Only when the target really needs it.
Maybe Hillary will branch out from arranged suicides?

You can see why the Iranians and Chinese and everyone else who wouldn’t hesitate to kill you are allon for a Biden administration can’t you. No more killing of valuable assets, no more financial isolation, no more breathing down the back of their necks. A Biden administration would coddle up to these people.
Well………
Bidens have already been in bed with them for decades now….
Btw: Sidney Powell: “I have evidence from a first-hand witness, a high-ranking military officer who was present when Smartmatic was designed… designed in a way that the system could change the vote of each voter without being detected. He wanted the software to function in such a manner that if the voter were to place their thumbprint or a fingerprint on a scanner, then the thumbprint would be tied to a record of the voter’s name and identity as having voted, but that voter would not be tracked to the changed vote. He made it clear that the system would have to be setup but not leave any evidence of the changed vote for a specific voter, and that there would be no evidence to show and nothing to contradict that the name or the fingerprint or thumbprint was going with a changed vote. Smartmatic agreed to create such a system and produce the software and hardware that accomplished the result for President Chavez.”
