Two stories from over the weekend worth noting.
First, on Thursday (okay, not technically the weekend) the Wall Street Journal reported that the independent Pakistani commission investigating the Abbottabad raid has barred bin Laden's family from leaving the country. Apparently, the Pakistani military is not happy about this, seeing their continued presence in the country as an embarrassment. (The wives and their children will eventually be repatriated to their countries of origin, Saudi Arabia and Yemen).
Also, new Secretary of Defense Leon Panetta visited Kabul on Saturday and said he believed that the new al-Qa'ida leader Ayman al-Zawahiri was living in Pakistan's tribal areas. Pakistan responded by urging the United States to share any actionable intelligence on Zawahiri so the Pakistani military could carry out targeted operations.
No, really.
Does anybody know how to say chutzpah in Dari?
