"My people are asking 'What action should we take?'" says al-Habib. "I'm trying to calm them down. I'm telling them that the Americans are probably desperate. But I cannot control the feeling of my people...
...influx, they wouldn't be in there." U.S. officials say they can't estimate the strength of such fighters. "We don't have the ability to monitor that," says the senior intelligence official.
