...most traveled leaders, employing at least 37 aliases in extensive trips to Asia and Africa, according to U.S. investigators. (There have been reports that al-Zawahiri was spotted in eastern Afghanistan last month.) Zubaydah was implicated in the 1998 U.S. embassy bombings in East Africa; soon after, he rose to become al-Qaeda's chief of overseas operations. He allegedly played a role in the so-called millennium plots--two thwarted terrorist attacks planned for December 1999, one at Los Angeles International Airport and the other at a popular tourist hotel in Jordan.

Whether momentarily seated at a table—ready to spring up and mill about—or formally seated for a traditional profile painting, Toulouse Lautrec’s barmaid subject sports a capricious smirk.
