Update: I'd like to give a sloppy air smooch to Jawa's The Old Man of the Mountain for the link today. SSSMOOOCH!

Good news: We picked up an AQ handler, after we tracked him for two years:
State Security forces recently managed to acquire what they described as a "treasure trove of information" from an Al-Qaeda recruiter caught while he was on his way back from Iran using a forged GCC passport. A security official said that the suspect, a former military officer identified only as MSAA, had been placed under close covert surveillance for more than two years. They added that the man has confessed to playing a major role in recruiting young men in Kuwait and other GCC nations to join the Mujahideen in Afghanistan.
Bad news: It's a sign that AQ maintains logistical operational goals on the Peninsula. Oh, and he's probably not the only one.
