The US believes at least a dozen senior leaders of Al Qaeda are in Pakistan, House Intelligence Committee Chairman Mike Rogers said on Monday. “Of the 20 senior leaders in Al Qaeda, at least a dozen of them we believe to be traveling around Pakistan someplace,” he told reporters. “It is incredibly important for us that we maintain a relationship (with Pakistan) so that we can pursue those targets that we know are posing a threat to the United States,” he said.
