 * Move: To 2012 Aden bombing (or a title thereabouts), restructure the article, and integrate it with Al-Qaeda insurgency in Yemen and Template:Campaignbox al-Qaeda insurgency in Yemen. There just doesn't seem to be very much pre-death info on the subject himself to justify a standalone article; however, the assassination of a top general certainly is a significant event during this war, and it received quite a lot of mainstream coverage at the time.
