Umar Patek Busted on Vacation to Pakistan
2011-03-29
Little big Indonesian Bali-bombing terrorist Umar Patek is said (in Ay-Pee) by anonymous intelligence sources to have been caught in Pakistan. What was he doing there - picking up his paycheck?
He probably was. And getting his new tasking...
News of his arrest came from two intelligence officials -- one in Indonesia and the other in the Philippines -- who said Tuesday that Patek was taken into custody in Pakistan earlier this year. Both spoke on condition of anonymity, citing the sensitivity of the information.
My guess is that the story's gonna die right here. We occasionally have these, and they just go away. A few months ago Adam Gadahn was arrested, also in Pakistain. So have a few other Qaeda and Taliban bigs.
Patek's whereabouts were not immediately known Tuesday.
My guess is that he's moved from Qazi's guesthouse to Binny's guest room in Chitral.
Check the Peshawar Hilton, just in case...

#2  After he traveled all that way, it's a pity Umar is going to miss his Jihad U. 20th reunion.
