The London Times is running an article about an interesting development in Pakistan this morning after an American Jude Kenan was arrested at a tribal area checkpoint. Rumors are swirling as to why in the world the 20 year old was traveling around the militant infested tribal area of Pakistan. He was found in the area where western intelligence agencies believe Osama bin Laden is hiding. Is he a US spy, an al-Qaeda agent, a would-be American Taleb, an ambitious young journalist or just a backpacker pushing the boundaries of adventure? The U.S. Embassy in Islamabad is still waiting for confirmation on the Pakistani police reports. Interestingly the situation sounds similar to the capture of a US citizen John Walker Lindh in November 2001 while he was fighting with the Taliban.
