Al Qaeda leaving Afghanistan - metastatizing?

Read past the first three "headline" paragraphs and you'll find a very intriguing article discussing the outflow of foreign Al Qaeda from Pakistan/Afghanistan. Pakistani intelligence has been reporting on an outflow for awhile, but this article seems to present a more final and complete ordered dispersal.

The ideas given are that either they are leaving because the Taleban have Afghanistan going their way, or that Al Qaeda has dispersed its fighters for more offensive reasons.

Reagrdless of the reason, the return of thousands of trained, active, war experienced Al Qaeda to countries like Saudi, Yemen, Jordan, and Egypt does not presage a reduction of threat.
