Interesting that most of UBL and Zawahiri's AQ colleagues in the Federally Administered Tribal Agencies (FATA) in Pakistan where they are probably hiding (besides fellow Arabs) are Chechens and Uzbeks.

It might be related to the general Mideast travel warning that was updated yesterday.

"The United States Government has received information that terrorists may be planning to launch new attacks in Uzbekistan in the period surrounding the Uzbek Independence Day celebrations in early September 2004," the State Department said in a warning issued to U.S. citizens on Tuesday. "The embassy urges Americans in Uzbekistan to exercise extreme caution, including avoiding large crowds, celebrations, and public places where Westerners ... congregate," it added.
