US terror suspect tied to Pakistani Islamists

It is not simple as that. These terrorists do not have a regular training academy. They shift places and the trainees would not know the exact location of the training camp. The area is mountainous and to pinpoint the location would be difficult. There is already enough resentment against the US drone strikes and an attack at a wrong location would be a PR disaster. Hence the US govt has to take necessary precautions so as to not antagonise the locals.
