Earlier this week, Pakistan (although I think a US predator drone did the work) killed 25 to 30 Al Qaeda and Taliban fighters after bombing 3 compounds in a forest in South Waziristan. Abu Nasser and 5 other Al Qaeda fighters managed to escape the strike, but are believed to be seriously wounded. Let's hope they don't get far....
