Aren't many of them Yemeni as well? I thought I read that....somewhere.

I'd imagine he'd have the "homeboys" with him. Most of the non-Taliban types are probably Arabs (including Saudis, Yemenis, Jordanians, Syrians, Egyptians, etc)and then the next biggest non-Arab groups are probably Chechens and Uzbeks. But no one really knows. Hard to do a census in those areas. That area (Waziristan/FATA) is like the "Wild West" of the mid-1800s here in the U.S. Pakistan has about as much control there as Custer did in what was nominally American territory.
BTW, not to bring up Shukrijumah's ethnicity again . . .
but if Adnan isn't technically Saudi, UBL isn't either.
His father's family is originally Yemeni and his mother was Syrian. The reality of his background doesn't matter, only the perception.
