U.S., al Arabiya confirm al Muqrin's death

Islamic satellite network al Arabiya and American government sources are confirming that Abdul Aziz al Muqrin, believed to be the man in the black hood brandishing an automatic weapon in the al Quaeda videos and pictures surrounding the murder of American engineer Paul Johnson and the leader of the al Quaeda cell that beheaded Johnson, has been killed by Saudi forces.

So far only Reuters has reported that al Muqrin and two others were killed while actually disposing of Johnson's body.
