Rice Meets Mid East, Russian Officials; Does Hamas Know Where Zawahiri Is?

The State Department press briefing on Monday cleared up Condi's meetings with Lebanese and Egyptian officials, as well as her Russian counterpart. Of top interest to us, however, was an astute question left somewhat unanswered. The reporter asks if in light of Ayman al-Zawahri's recent tape in which he reaches out to Hamas, does Hamas know where al-Qaeda's #2 is hiding?

Hat tip to My Pet Jawa. More on the Zawahiri tapes via The Counterterrorism Blog, and the full broken-down State Department briefing here, via us.

Note: The reporter says Zarqawi instead of Zawahiri, but we're certain it was either a transcript error or an honest mistake.
