Al Qaeda fires terrorist by letter, citing poor performance

A letter recently discovered inside a former Al Qaeda stronghold reported that in October, Mokhtar Belmohktar an Algerian terrorist was terminated.

In the 10-page memo signed by the group's 14-member Shura Council, Belmoktar is described as "a bleeding wound" who -

  • Failed to carry out a single successful operation
  • Failed to bring in top dollar for his hostages
  • Failed to answer the telephone when they called
  • Failed to submit his expense reports
