#1 No problem. I fixed it. It's worth the work for the article.

This is a story that seems to keep coming back. It's starting to ring true. There was the story about his favorite wife not two weeks ago, then the guys knocked off on their way to assassinate the American ambassador a day later. I said way back when that he'd cut and run to Yemen, but then he showed up all over the map, everywhere from Chechnya to Bali, and if you'd asked me two weeks ago I'd have said he was in Karachi or in Fazl's guest house, but more likely dead. Hope this recent spate of activity - starting with the Djibouti presence - means they're closing in on him.

Sure will be neat if we get him because the IDF got the opportunity to root through Yasser's underwear drawer.

#2 FWIW, Debka had a story on this on October 19. They claimed he was in Saudi Arabia, near the Yemeni border.

#3 I saw the story, and Steve and, I think, Paul mailed it to me. I didn't use it because I thought it was just another rumor. Sure is hard to type with this bag over my head...
