RIYADH, Saudi Arabia—Saudi forces retaliated swiftly for the beheading of an American civilian yesterday, tracking down and killing the reputed local leader of the Al Qaeda terrorist group.
How would they find out within 24 hours the location of a terrorist who has eluded them for, well, at least as long as it takes to become the head honcho of al Qaeda in Saudi Arabia?

Saudi forces killed four other Al Qaeda militants in the shootout, which came after a witness reported the licence plate number of a car from which the militants dumped Johnson's body and police then stopped the vehicle at a gas station, security officials said.
I just don't buy it. I'm glad the guy's dead, but I think offing him within 24 hours of Paul Johnson's death is just a little quick to think that the Saudi's couldn't have tracked him down long before this.
