American al Qaeda Spotted in Pakistan

American al Qaeda Spotted in Pakistan

The American al Qaeda, Adam Gadahn, was spotted last month in a remote area of Pakistan but moved before he could be captured, Pakistani intelligence officials tell ABC News.

The officials say Gadahn, a native of Orange County, Calif., was seen in South Waziristan, where he is believed to be involved in the production of al Qaeda propaganda tapes.

He has appeared several times in the last year on video tapes, predicting the streets of America will "run red with blood" and expressing his glee that the 9/ll attacks took place on "enemy soil."

...

Pakistani officials say they are "hot on the trail" of Gadahn, although South Waziristan is one of the areas where Pakistani soldiers have been ordered to stay in their barracks as part of a "peace agreement" between the Pakistani government and tribal militants believed to shelter al Qaeda and Taliban elements.

2. They probably have them in custody
What a boon the "presence" of OBL and Al-qaeda in the mountaineous area has been for the Pakistan military. They will say and do anything for military and economic largesse from the USA government.

4. Pakistan has no such interest in capturing Bin Laden or Gadahn.
First the Pakistani ISI helped create/support the Taliban as well as Bin Laden.

Second, once captured, the flow of American $$$ will cease, as operations will have to draw to a close.

An October suprise to look for...Osama or Zawhiri somehow skirting American security out of the Pakistan /Afghanistan region and appearing in Iraq and thus legitimizing this whole nonsense in the mideast.
