Recently there was another leader from Al Qaeda that was killed, his name was Said al-Shihri. He was Al Qaed's second in command on the Arabian Peninsula. Al-Shihri was held in many high security prisons, his death is supposed to be a huge blow to Al Qaeda and other terrorist groups. During the mission in Hadramawt Valley al-Shihri and 6 other terrorists were shot. There has already been some speculation behind the attack, one of them is that even though the Yemeni military claims that the terrorists were killed in "an operation by the armed forces," some local security officials claim that he was killed by a drone strike. These are questions that we may never see answered, but either way a death like this is very important in the end of terrorism.
