Al Qaeda No. 2 hiding in Quetta: Pakistani intelligence source reports al-Zawahiri's location

The Washington Times ^ | May 12, 2009 | Jasmeen Manzoor

[Abakumov]

Ayman al-Zawahiri, al Qaeda's No. 2 leader, the most wanted terrorist after Osama bin Laden, with a $25 million bounty on his head, is holed up near Quetta, Pakistan, according to a highly placed Pakistani intelligence source.

[bigbob]

So why isn’t Quetta a smoking crater?

Oh yeah, Obama’s fault.

[82ndABNOfficer]

This will be a good deal if we capture him. Hopefully he will be given Saudi justice instead of US justice. His capture by US forces will mean that he will be treated as decently as a minor US felon will get. He is a damn terrorist that has caused misery to the world and to millions, and I really do hope if a western friendly country catches him they will try him, torture him, and execute him for his crimes.

He has caused the Saudis problems and they would put his head on the ground quick. But the Zero will need to parade him around Washington for a while and maybe pardon him.

[WellyP]

Obama= PUSSY!

[theDentist]

The idea of Obama getting credit for what Bush should have done irks me, but I’ll accept it as long at that *** is killed.

[navyblue]

Or he could be shot while trying to escape.

Well, then why does he have this bullet hole in the middle of his forehead?

Well sir, as he was running away, he turned around to flip us the bird.

Oh, I see. Well done, men.

[prairiebreeze]

All we heard the RATS harp on for 8 years was "Why hasn't Bush gotten Osama bin Ladin??"

Well I damn well demand to know why Barack Hussein Obama hasn't gotten Osama.

[Recovering Hermit]

Give us all a break.

If "Pakistani Intelligence" had any intelligence whatsoever this asshole would have been caught, squeezed for every drop of information he had, and then summarily executed years ago.

This is the same crap, just a different day.

[Niuhuru]

The problem is no one wants to do the dirty work. These days our intelligence officials operate by the Queensberry rules while the terrorists, like the Democrats, fight dirty.

[Eddie01]

is was holed up near Quetta, Pakistan

[mylife]

Great. And they just tipped him off.

[HotLead61]

Maybe they should just make sure that the Mossad knows where he is...then back off.

They know how to take care of these kinds of problems.

FReepmail if you want on or off

[Raycpa]

Another number 2? Soon they will have to pay Avis a royalty.

[DTogo]

What about Obama’s campaign pledge to act on intelligence of Al Quaeda’s wherabouts even in other countries who were unwilling to do so?

[Billthedrill]

I suppose they could send the CIA after him, but the Dems and the media would be screaming for the CIA field people’s heads if they succeeded.

[AliVeritas]

More please, faster.

Just think, he just got the general pulled who wanted more troops.

Nevermind.

[AliVeritas]

BTW, welcome to Free Republic.

[Mad_Tom_Rackham]

"...according to a highly placed Pakistani intelligence source."

They've always known his whereabouts. They've been protecting him.

[ExSoldier]

One thing about TEXANS is that their hearts are always in the right place!

T . B . Bechtel, a part-time City Councilman from Midland, TX was asked on a local live radio talk show, just what he thought of the allegations of torture of the Iraqi prisoners. His reply prompted his ejection from the studio, but to thunderous applause from the audience .

HIS STATEMENT:

'If hooking up an Iraqi prisoner's nuts to a car's battery cables will save just one Texas GI's life, then I have just three things to say,'

'Red is positive,

Black is negative, and

Make sure his nuts are wet.'

[dr_who]

What do you bet that al-Zawahiri is no longer anywhere near Quetta?

[Perdogg]

"Ayman al-Zawahiri, al Qaeda's No. 2 leader, the most wanted terrorist after Osama bin Laden, with a $25 million bounty on his head, is was holed up near Quetta, Pakistan, according to a highly placed Pakistani intelligence source."

[rdl6989]

Here's a hint for clueless Barry.

[blam]

I’ve got to move back to Texas.

[Jim Noble]

Hopefully he will be given Saudi justice instead of US justice

He's Egyptian.

[Candor7]

Bechtel needs to be running the CIA.

[romanesq]

Damn place is a cesspool of Taliban. Pak Intel (ISI) knows where these guys are and they never give them up.

They must think it’s time to buy off US pressure and give some Al Qaeda.

Why announce it? Why not just pick him up?

[romanesq]

Zawahiri is more like the operations #1 since his fat stupid mug is always out there. You never seem the other dude, who is probably brain food putting his face out there.

[PghBaldy]

I think he looks like Mr Peepers.

[LUV W]

....and we have not taken this murdering piece of human debris out, why?????

*the sound of crickets from the White House*

[LUV W]

LOL! I work in Midland...and I can assure you that is our
attitude around here toward terrorists!

[Flint]

Now that is great. Just announce where he is so he knows it’s time to move on. Isn’t that just special?

[MadMax, the Grinning Reaper]

Continuing with your theme. I wonder if Quetta is going to have a nuclear accident? Maybe a rouge group got hold a a Paki Nuke but dropped it?

Like Dusty Springfield, “Just wishin’ and hopin’”.

“Let a thousand mushrooms blossom”.

To modify a t-shirt my son brought back from OIF,

“Weather report for Quetta - 2,000 degrees Farenheit and cloudy”.

Or, as Robert Duvall might have said in “Apocolypse Now”, “I love the sight of nukes in the morning”.

[Issaquahking]

Barack H. Obama al Qaeda's best friend

Ayman al-Zawahiri, al Qaeda's No. 2 leader,

[penelopesire]

LOL!! I love Texas!!

[sageb1]

They must want us to keep giving them $.

[americanophile]

I’m guessing that if the Washington Times is reporting his location...he’s no longer in Quetta.

[Dog]

I think this just maybe true...it makes sense on so many levels....he is travling with a small footprint so to speak as to not to draw attention...moves among civilians to preclude our striking and risking civilian deaths.

He is hiding in plain sight...its that simple....we just can't get at him is all.....for now.

[GeorgiaDawg32]

yup..he USED to be there, now he’s somewhere else..

[F. dAnconia]

Hate to bring this up, but that quote is a well known and bogus internet creation. T.B. Bechtel does not exist. He certainly is not a councilman in Midland. see here...

http://www.midlandtexas.gov/government/city_council/city_council_bios.html

I have to say though, the quote is funny and would love to see a politician stand up and say it.

[ExSoldier]

And.....POP goes the euphoria! Gee thanks. I'm not mad. Shoulda known that no politician, even from Texas, would have to balls to make such a statement about enemy nuts.

[Wyatt's Torch]

We need to nail this evil f**ker. this guy is FAR more dangerous than bin Laden himself. He is the brains and philosophical leader of AQ.

[Doogle]

yup..he USED to be there, now he’s somewhere else..

..yeah they must have found an AZ loves BHO curved on a park bench with a heart and a $ dollar sign through it

[bert]

Why do you suggest giving him to Saudi Arabia?

[avacado]

"The idea of Obama getting credit for what Bush should have done irks me, but I’ll accept it as long at that *** is killed."

On the bright side, the libtards have no clue who al-Zawahiri is or his importance so Obama won't get too much of a hero's welcome. The libtards want Bush "captured" and are uneducated on anything al-Qaeda.

[montyspython]

Zawahiri will be captured, tried by Judge Ito and then summarily released into a Detroit neighborhood where he will work as a convenient store clerk who then get’s shot dead during a robbery attempt.

[Melchior]

Zawahiri is an Egyptian and is subject to a death sentence in that country.
