Bin Laden was last heard from on January 19 in an audio tape and Zawahri appeared in a video on January 30. Officials hope both messages may shed some light on their location. ………"
I am in no mood for comments on this posting nor do I have time to waste moderating them -- it speaks for itself. And before my American friends write reproachfully or sorrowfully to me. Yes I know you're trying to get your government under control, yes I know you're starting to fight back. Hurry up and do it please.
