As I understand it, he is incredibly connected to some people in Pakistan. Hey, all I know is that he has been 100% RIGHT ON in everything I have ever heard him say, and for a couple of months he has said OBL was alive; that he either had disfiguring wounds or had some plastic surgery; and that he was living in Karachi (a city of 15 MILLION) where even he could "blend in."

I would love to think OBL is dead, but like I say, Ijaz's track record so far has been better than Warren Buffet's.

Not to rain on Ijaz's parade, but that is something he picked up on from Indian Intel. He made a trip to the area,including Indian Kashmir and was welcomed by Indian authorities last fall.

An Indian ex-intel chief author named Raman who writes for saag.org claimed in one of his articles that Osama had been in hiding at one time, in the sprawling Binori mosque in Karachi.

Looks like Ijaz has stopped stating that Osama is dead or not in Pakistan as he was stating last winter and spring.

If Ijaz is finally spooked at the extent of jihadism, it is a good sign because of his connections to Pakistan, it means that the Pakistani military/ISI establishment may have finally seen the error of their ways and Musharraf has forced them on a different road instead of the jihadi one they were on.
