'"Indeed, the US has delivered a stark behind-the-scenes ultimatum to Pakistan to hand over al-Qaeda number two Ayman al-Zawahiri and Taliban leader Mullah Omar or face fresh American raids on their soil to capture or kill them, The Sunday Telegraph has learned.
"We have absolutely no doubt that very high-up Pakistani elements were sheltering bin Laden and are still are sheltering Zawahiri and Mullah Omar," said a senior US intelligence source."
Dan Goure, a Pentagon consultant, said: "It is being made very clear at the highest back-channel levels that enough is enough. The era of holding back and diplomatic niceties is over.
"The message is that when find them, we will go after them, and that for the Pakistanis it would be much better for their reputation and for their aid budget if they acted first.
