Break And Enter

A burglary. Yeah, that's it. A burglary:

A brother-in-law of Osama bin Laden, who is wanted in the Philippines for alleged terror financing, was killed in Madagascar in what appeared to be a burglary, the victim's brother said Wednesday.

Jamal Khalifa, who was married to a sister of the al-Qaida leader, was killed when gunmen broke into his house in a Madagascan village on Tuesday, his brother Malek Khalifa said in a phone interview from his home in Jiddah, Saudi Arabia.

Malek, who was distraught when recounting his brother's death, said between 25 and 30 armed men broke into Jamal's house "while he was sleeping," and killed him. "They stole everything -- his computer, all of his things," he said.


Naturally. Don't burglars usually travel in packs of a couple dozen or more?

Kudos to whoever ordered this son-of-a-bitch whacked, though, even if the cover story didn't work.

As someone commented elsewhere, maybe the CIA is doing its job again.
