And the day before they caught the other guy, Sheikh Abdur Rahman. In other words, the #1 and #2 guys are now in jail. In my head I can hear Rockapella from Where in the World is Carmen San Diego, pleasantly cooing in my hear that all is well, for Bangla Buy and Shake Abdur Ray-man are . . innnn jaaaaaiiiilllll.
