Two mid-level al Qaeda leaders killed in Yemen
Source: Reuters

(Reuters) - Two mid-level al Qaeda leaders were killed in Yemen on Thursday in a remote province where al Qaeda is active, the news service of the Yemeni defence ministry said, and residents said they saw a drone in the air at the time.

The defence ministry identified the men as two brothers, Musa'id and Abdullah Mubarak, and said they were killed in Shabwa. Some residents said they saw a drone in the air while others reported an explosion following what they thought was a rocket in the air.

1. Possible dividends from the raid on bin Laden's place?
If the President had given the order to bomb the holy hell out of the complex, valuable information would have been lost. He clearly made the right decision.

Also, by releasing the information that we had a treasure trove of info, it focused our enemies on saving their own asses rather than avenging bin Laden's lost one.
