Another scumbag bites the dust...

From Centcom:

BAGHDAD, – Ground forces have verified the death of Mahmoud Ahmed Mohammed Al-Rashid, also known as Umar Faruq, through DNA testing.
During a raid, Sept 25 in Basrah, ground forces killed Mahmoud Ahmed Mohammed Al-Rashid Faruq. As forces maneuvered to the objective, they received small-arms fire from suspected terrorists. Forces killed an individual wielding a firearm as they reached the objective. After taking photographs and gathering DNA evidence from the individual, ground forces left the suspected terrorist remains at the site. It was later determined through DNA gathered the individual killed was Umar Faruq.

So many terrorists, so little time. Actually, this was the same "UmarFaruq" who was captured in 2002 and later escaped from an Afghani prison in July, 2005. Until this time, he had built up quite a resume, as far as terrorist scum goes, that is

Omar al-Faruq al-Iraqi, an al-Qaeda leader in Southeast Asia and escapee from Bagram prison in Afghanistan in July 2005, has been reportedly killed by British forces in al-Basra, southern Iraq, today, Monday, September 25, 2006. Omar al-Faruq AKA Mehmood Ahmed Mohammed, has referred to himself and was named by as-Sahab productions as Omar al-Faruq al-Iraqi, though media and intelligence reports call him Omar al-Faruq al-Kuwaiti.

Omar al-Faruq, a Kuwaiti national, was trained in the early 1990s at the Khaldan training camp in Afghanistan. In 1994, al-Faruq traveled to the Philippines where he worked with the Moro Islamic Liberation Front (MILF), beginning his career as an important liason for al- Qaeda in Southeast Asia. According to Abu Zubaydah, Al-Faruq became the senior al-Qaeda representative in the region, even accompanying Ayman al-Zawahiri during the latter's visit to Aceh, Indonesia, in 2000. His role was to coordinate and plan large attacks against interests of the United States, specifically U.S. embassies, throughout Southeast Asia.

Al-Faruq developed a strong relationship with Abu Bakir Bashir, the leader of Jemaah Islamiya, which perpetrated the October 2002 bombings in Bali, Indonesia. Al-Faruq was arrested on June 5, 2002, in Indonesia, and then sent to the US Air Force Base in Bagram, Afghanistan, along with other high-value detainees. During interrogation, al-Faruq admitted that he was the one behind a series of church bombings in Indonesia during Christmas in 2000, as well as several other failed terrorist plots in 1999 and 2000.

On July 11, 2005, Al-Faruq and three other al-Qaeda detainees, including Abu Yehia al-Libi and Abu Nasser al-Qahtani, escaped from Bagram prison. Despite appearing in an al-Qaeda video after his escape, his whereabouts remained unknown until his death at the hands of the British military on September 25, 2006, in Basra, Iraq.

In March 2006, the al-Qaeda multimedia production company, as-Sahab, distributed a thirty-nine minute video with Omar al-Faruq, featuring an interview in which he discusses a variety of points, ranging from his position in Southeast Asia, incarceration at Bagram prison, and eventual escape.

Have fun in hell, Omar.
