Good news. But what took them so long?
Al Qaeda never really paid attention to Israel until after 9-11.
Their main foe was the US.
They now go after Israel to garner more sympathy in the (Arab) world, because everyone hates Israel.
"Good news. But what took them so long?"
Israel does not have a large reserve of manpower after all--it is a tiny nation.
In any case, they have had other work to do while we have had ours.
Nevertheless, this has got to ruin Al Zawahiri's day.
They have been a little busy with Hamas and the PLO and trying to prevent attacks in Israel.
