It does make you wonder, why this is leaked — I guess to make sure that Al Zawahiri and his fellow terrorists can escape before we find them.
The White House knows for a fact that Al Zawahiri can’t read English.
When you're hunting birds (quail, for instance), first you get your bird dog to locate & point on the bird's location.
Next, you let the birds know you're there. (flushing)
Then, when the bird tries to escape, you shoot him.
Just guessing.
