My Comment: I found the section on Ayman al-Zawahiri answering other emails interesting. The first thing that went through my mind was ..... did someone get his IP address, and if someone did (which I am sure did happen) .... from what part of the world did that message come from. I am surprise that more info on this matter has not been released to the public.
