"He was not there, and this is what we know after a detailed probe" into the incident, he said.
that was awful quick
"nothing to see here folks, move along"
I saw a report earlier that mentioned that locals had removed the bodies of five foreigners from the rubble and hidden them. I wonder if they've been found.
Anonymous sources are a dime a dozen.
Assuming the Pakistani report is true, the only way these Pakistani officials could learn so quickly that Zawahiri was still alive would be by talking to him personally. I believe there are those in the Pakastani government (not Musharraf) that are protecting al Qaeda with the full understanding that American forces are not allowed to hunt for them in Pakistan. At the very least, they will now know that the rules have changed.
Wow, how come it takes weeks to do a DNA test here, but only 12 hours in Pakistan?
