#1 A Saudi national with explosives, what are the odds of that?

About 60-40, I'd say.

#2 Maj. Gen. Shaukat Sultan, the chief army spokesman, confirmed the arrests. In an interview with the state-run Pakistan Television, Sultan said one of the suspects was "at a pretty high level" in al-Qaida and was an expert and trainer in explosives, though he didn't identify him.

That would most likely be our Saudi friend, Hakeem

#3 Are there any Field Marshals in any-istan? Jeez. "Field Marshal al-Mastermind"

Here at least we had "Field Marshal Cinque of the Symbionese Liberation Army". Slackers.

#4 Hadn't thought of Cinque in years. The SLA should be revamped (transformed) into the modern Symbionese Liberation Army for Preaching and Posturing.
Or The SLAP&PeePee for short. An excellent name for a short-line leading to nowhere.
