Doh!
Thank God we've still got 6 months left:
A BULLETPROOF LandCruiser
at high speed bursting out of a tribal compound in Pakistan's South
Waziristan region was just the latest infuriating setback in the US's
quest to bring down the top of the al-Qa'ida tree.
The car, followed by two armoured vehicles and a phalanx of heavily
armed militants able to wipe out dozens of crack troops sent to blast
the terrorists from their nest, is believed to have contained Ayman
al-Zawahiri, right-hand man to Osama bin Laden. After mounting
speculation that US and Pakistani forces ranged on either side of the
Afghanistan-Pakistan border were about to pounce on al-Qa'ida's key
planner, a senior Taliban spokesman yesterday made the claim Washington
least wanted to hear - that both Zawahiri and bin Laden were safe in
Afghanistan. "He may have slipped the net," the official said.
