Zabihullah Mujahid appeared to have had his location tagged to his Twitter updates on Friday, labelling him as being in "Sindh, Pakistan". He dismissed the location as an "enemy plot", tweeting that he was definitely in Afghanistan. Pakistan is often accused of having covert links with the Taliban, an allegation it denies.[/quote]

"sir about that seal team in afghanistan -" "you idiot, cant you read his twitter, hes in pakistan" "..."
The location data on sites like Twitter is not always accurate and can be very wrong for a countless number of reasons. If it was 100% accurate then surely these leaders would already be deceased or in US custody?
