#2 Expect more on the most wanted list to be 'killed in shootouts' in the next few days?

From Reuters, June 23:

Security forces killed al Qaeda's leader in Saudi Arabia, Abdulaziz al-Muqrin, and three other senior militants on Friday, hours after the militants beheaded U.S. hostage Paul Johnson.

Saudi authorities later announced they had arrested 12 militants. One Saudi security source said among them were prominent figures on the kingdom's list of its 26 most-wanted suspects, including senior ideologue Abdullah al-Rushoud.

#5 Y'know, I've been wondering what happened to all the Al Ghamdis that were scooped up back in the early days... There were oodles of them - sorta mid-level management types. I'll bet they serve the right brand of tea at the palaces.
