Many questions have been raised on Zubair's identity. Speculation has ranged from Pakistan to Rohingya to Kasab.
I'm going to raise a plausible scenario that isn't any of those.
As you all know, there are no documents identifying Zubair's education, work, birthdate or family before 2012.
So he's practically unknown before then.
