| Military today clarified that an Al-Qaeda fighter killed in an operation near the Afghan border was just a local intelligence operative and not the terror network's spy chief. "He is not really the intelligence chief for all Al-Qaeda, but he was one of the top intelligence people in Wana (South Waziristan) for Al-Qaeda," military spokesman Major General Shaukat Sultan told AFP. Sultan at a news conference on Monday said Pakistan army killed "Mr Abdullah, who was the chief of Al-Qaeda intelligence." Sultan still refused to answer questions whether the military recovered Abdullah's body, saying he has no details about the full name, nationality and identity of the man. |

| #3 I'm not certain at all what this particular exercise was about. In theory 7,000 Pak army assault 400-500 simple (tho well trained) light infantry, and lose. Was it all for the audience Dan or was their just a poor assault force? I mean sometimes you lose. (shrug) crap. |

| #2 Go figure. Next the Pak army will be saying stuff like "This attack really hurt Al-Qaeda's feelings, They feel very hurt about this...very, very hurt." |
