Senior al Qaeda Commander Killed

Nasr Ibn Ali al-Ansi and our Commander-in-Chief

(CNN)A senior commander in al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula has been killed in a U.S. drone strike, according to an online video statement from an AQAP spokesman. It was not immediately clear when Nasr Ibn Ali al-Ansi was killed.

A U.S. official confirmed that al-Ansi was dead, but would not say whether his death was the result of a drone strike.

Is it just me, or is there more than a slight family resemblance?
