Nobody would fault the Reverend Terry Jones for disappearing right about now. But the No. 2 man on al-Qaeda's international hit list — a provocative Florida pastor infamous for burning the Koran — is staying put.

And where might that be?

In Florida's DeSoto Square mall, where Jones has been found since November, working behind the counter of the food court's popular french fry stand, Fry Guys Gourmet Fries, according to the Bradenton Herald. Their slogan: "We take fries seriously."

Jones's position on the chilling hit list, which can be found on a widely circulated propaganda poster, garnered new publicity last week after French editor Stéphane Charbonnier was killed alongside 11 others during a terrorist attack on the offices of satirical French newsweekly Charlie Hebdo. Charbonnier had been on the list since 2013, according to news reports.
