#3 Al Qaeda Remains World's Worst Job

Propagandists probably think it's a happy medium between just some functionary schmuck and the real top brass. Point is to make the rubes think progress is being made while perpetuating the myth and the existence of the CIA front.

Al Qaeda's No. 3 Man Believed Killed in Strike

"Al Qaeda announced Monday that its No. 3 official, Mustafa al-Yazid, had been killed along with members of his family - perhaps one of the most severe blows to the terror movement since the U.S. campaign against al Qaeda began. A U.S. official said al-Yazid was believed to have died in a U.S. missile strike."

Al Qaeda No. 3 dead, but how?

Demise of al-Qaida's 'number three'

There's more, but it's actually too bewildering a task to sift through the obvious bullshit propaganda, because some names pop up as being killed numerous times, or some are supposedly killed while they actually were captured and sitting somewhere in prison. After a while it seems the propagandists forget what they've claimed before and just trust that american dullards won't remember the funny raghead names anyway.
But hey! we got #3. Again. And again.
