Jill....here is some news regarding Mursi. No mention of capture, it's really puzzling. V...I think you were the one that pointed out he's not on the most wanted list anymore. Thanks FO for the article.
Here is the particular excerpt from Debka:
"DEBKAfile’s counter-terror sources reveal that US counter-terrorist authorities are focusing on tracking down two key suspects: a 32-year old Pakistani woman called Aafaya Siddiqui, doctor of neurology who attended a university in the Boston area, and Adnan G. Al Shukrijmah, an al Qaeda activist known to have spent time in Florida.
Our sources add that American and foreign counter-terror and intelligence agencies are also hunting for Midaat Mursi, known as Abu Khabab, prominent member of al Qaeda’s operational partner, the Egyptian Jihad Islami, who is considered the organization’s top expert on radiological bombs. Mursi heads a number of terrorist rings who have been instructed to infiltrate the United States through Canada for a dirty bomb attack. They may have made the crossing already.
The price on the head of Musab Zarqawi, Osama bin Laden’s top operative in Iraq, may be raised from $10m to $25m after he was identified as the terrorist who beheaded Nicholas Berg. All his nets are the subject of intensive search, some composed of Saudis and Chechens trained for chemical or biological attacks and buried somewhere in Europe for some time. Efforts are also underway to locate underground terrorist cells of al Qaeda’s Far Eastern ally, Jemaa al Islamiyah, which are thought to be on their way to seize a merchant freighter or supertanker for use as a massive seaborne bomb vessel.

Yes, I was curious as to why he wasn't on the most wanted list. But you're right, there's no word of his capture. Curious, isn't it?
"seize a tanker for a sea going bomb"
Could this be the reason for all the Naval games planned for the next month?
I dreamt last night that I went on vacation to the coast and my luck we rented a room that turned out the hotel was smack in the middle of a cell. It was horrible and I saw the name of the hotel, but could not remember on waking. All I know is Aafaya Siddiqui was there looking different, almost pretty, in civilian clothes but a headscarf. And that we were an hour away from Huntington Beach.
If no one else plans on doing Thread NINE, I will wait to see if there are any takers, if not I will do it later this evening?
