#1 "The last of the al-Qaeda operatives from Georgiaâs Pankisi Valley..." The last? Really? That's hard to believe. The Caucases passes are closing in Chechnya, don't the jihadis hibernate in Pankisi over the winter?

#2 Perhaps all the other Abus have already gone on to greener pastures, like Iraq, and the CIA has become aware of it.

#6 Dan: Abu Khabab was KIA in May 2002. I have a photo of him laid out on a slab. He isn't smiling as he no doubt had found out by that point that the promise of all those virgins in paradise was b.s.

#7 Allow me a minor edit to my earlier response....the Chechen in question (cited originally in the comments imbedded in the article) is actually Ibn Khattab (or Abu Khattab). He is the dead man. Abu Khabab is a totally different person. He's an Egyptian whose real name is Midhat Mursi. He is one of Binny's weapons experts. He loves to play with chemicals, explosives, and other nasty stuff and was last seen in the area of the Darunta complex in Afghanistan circa November 2001. He is still at large. Sorry for the confusion.
