Pakistani intel: Zawahiri's not in a cave, he's in Quetta

Al-Zawahiri hides in plain sight. He has given up the trappings of a high-value target, has no large entourage and dresses in the manner of the people in the areas in which he resides. He moves his wives frequently to preclude any identification by that means.

He does not trust locals and is protected by a security force of trusted Egyptians. However, quite a few old veterans of the conflict in Afghanistan recognize him as he moves about the area.

Pakistani intelligence agencies have shared with the CIA their knowledge of al-Zawahiri’s location in the Quetta suburbs.
