First 'official' announcement perhaps, but I saw essentially this in the news a couple days ago; can't remember where, however.

What was stated in one article was that 'foreigners' had been invited to this party, leaving no doubt in my mind that 'foreigners' had to be terrorists. Another news article stated that Zawahiri had been invited but had sent representatives instead.

This seems to encapsulate both articles.

There have been numerous articles covering both of those items. This is the first official pronouncement from the Pakistanis. That's why it's major news on the AP.

"...Zawahiri had been invited but had sent representatives instead."

And if they died, who is left to rub Tiger Balm on Zawahiri's lumpy forehead, hmmm?
