The only Jews in Pakistan should be Israelis, preferably Mossad.
I must admit I thought he was talking about Zero.
Be assured that the big cats in the sky, the drones, are stalking al-Zawahari. One minute the target is eating lunch, the next moment he’s a splotch of red corpuscles on a wall.
I didn’t know the CIA was hiring senior citizens to spy on the Pakis / s
