#1 The dead man wants to surrender? What?

#2 seems it would have been smarter of Oufi to stay dead. I suspect some Saudi officials are going to be very angry at him for reappearing after he had so conveniently died.

#3 Ok, is this another one of those "multiple ways to spell a arabic name" kind of things?
-including the al-Qaeda leader in the country, Saleh Mohammed al-Oufi
-chief of the primary militant group in the kingdom is Saleh al-Awfi

I say al-Oufi, you say al-Awfi, let's kill the whole damm bunch.

#5 Negotiations for the surrender of the man believed to be al-Qaida's chief in the Arabian Peninsula have begun, a Saudi cleric said Friday.
Sheik Safar al-Hawaly, speaking to The Associated Press from the southern Saudi province al-Baha, said an intermediary was sent to Saleh Mohammed al-Aoofi on Thursday night. He would not say where al-Aoofi was.

Make that three ways to spell it:
Saleh al-Awfi
Saleh Mohammed al-Oufi
Saleh Mohammed al-Aoofi
No wonder they can't keep the databases straight.
