I would love to see the look on their faces when they found out there are no 72 virgins awaiting them.

An al Qaeda military commander and a Haqqani Network leader are among 17 jihadists who are reported to have been killed in a US drone strike that took place earlier this week.
The al Qaeda commander, who was identified as Abu Saif al Jaziri, and Maulana Akhtar Zadran, a Haqqani Network officer, were killed in the July 2 drone strike in the Miramshah area of North Waziristan, the Urdu-language Karachi Express News Television reported.
Two other “militant commanders” who were identified as Rana Ashraf from Sargodha, and Navid Butt from Lahore, are also reported to have been killed in the US attack.
The deaths of al Jaziri, Zadran, Ashraf, and Butt have not been confirmed. Al Qaeda and the Haqqani Network often do not announce the deaths of military commanders.
US intelligence officials who track al Qaeda in the region told The Long War Journal that they are aware of the reports of the deaths of the jihadist leaders, but would neither confirm nor deny them.
One US intelligence official said that al Jaziri is a “mid-level paramilitary commander” who works with the Haqqani Network in the region. Al Jaziri is from Algeria, the official said.
