I'll wait for an AQAP statement before 100% believing it, but I've now heard from 3 reputable sources in #Yemen who say Shihri wasn't killed
@jeremyscahill Is it possible he's alive but not in Yemen anymore? Or are they saying "yup, he's still here"?

@emptywheel Just that he wasn't killed. They ID'ed two other guys killed in that strike, said Shihri was not among the dead. -
@jeremyscahill The claim was sourced entirely to Yemeni govt officials right? -
@emptywheel yes. They said they were awaiting DNA confirmation. Also, various US CT pundits have gone to races with it.
