#1 Excellent news.

Taking into account the sad loss of intelligence from the al-balawi attack, its suprising how fast the information on his whereabouts was gleaned, processed and acted on .

Good work field operators

#2 My bet is the intel was available since before the al-Balawi attack, but now there is both more will and more urgency to hit back. (Many of our intel assets may not be fully usable any more, so we have to roll up who we can, while we can.)

#3 That may well be true Glenmore , but these guys aint too keen on staying in one spot for too long (for obvious reasons) which begs the question , did the information on his whereabouts come from the ISI/ other pak assets or was it 'our boys' rolling on what they knew

Now if doctors are treating him ,he is hurt , and hurt reasonably badly imho . And if they are then some intel community knows exactly where he is .

#5 Sepsis would be nice, big piece of shrapnel in the groin with femoral artery involvement good also...
