This is on CNN homepage:

Wire services report al Qaeda leader in Saudi Arabia killed, according to Al-Arabiyah TV network. CNN working to confirm.

This is the guy who claimed responsibility for the beheading of an american. While this is a small reconciliation, I hope it'll make them think twice next time.

If the report was made by Saudi officials, I call total BS. I have lived there, they make up all sorts of stuff there.

How can they be "quick" when they had 6 prior days to find Johnson before his demise. I also doubt this report.

It's hard not to be skeptical considering the Saudis track record. This was probably their plan B if they could not rescue Johnson in time. Hopefully they will release some in-depth details.

"Oh shite, the Americans are mad, let's make them feel better, go get Hak'med my driver, and kill him. We will say he was the Al-Queda leader. That should spur them to buy more gas."

Yea, I would like this to be true, but I think it belongs into the news section with Pakistan's "We have ____ surrounded near Afghan border!" claims.
