“Why are they telling us this?”
They are NOT telling you, they are telling Zawahiri and his protectors that US knows where they are. They suspect is a ruse but then we did get Bin Laden’s cache and he may have written it down. Either way, the messengers will move, calls will be made etc etc as CIA listens and as Navy Seals get ready .

Not that I don’t like a good round of spy games, but if I were them unless I knew for a fact Bin Laden didn’t know anything, I’d think about moving anyway.
