PESHAWAR, Pakistan - At least four foreign terrorists died in the U.S. airstrike on a Pakistani border village that was purportedly aimed at al-Qaida's No. 2 leader, the provincial government said Tuesday.

A statement by the administration of the Pakistan's tribal region bordering Afghanistan also said that between 10 and 12 foreign extremists had been invited to dinner at the village hit in Friday's attack.

I'd like to know more of the inside details on this.

I'm sure you would. I'm sure Al-Qaeda would like to know the answers to your questions.
I'm not criticizing you, just pointing out that there is a good possibility that you won't get answers any time soon.

No doubt you are right. And I'd prefer not to hear these sort of details in the news until after all this is long over.

These evil cowards are excellent at manipulating media coverage.

Years of perfecting their media manipulation techniques courtesy of the Palis, who have come a long way - remember the Pali "funeral procession" where the casket got dropped and the guy inside crawled out and ran away?

Zawahiri could have provided his own blood to have it splashed around the bombing site to fake his own death.

You're right of course.
But if there are odd pieces the odds of survival go down.

...and it will remind villagers in the region of the dangers involved in aiding the terrorists.

I think this is very a very important lesson.
"You may never have seen an American in your life, but shelter and feed their enemies and you will die."
When the mountain-dwelling Pakistani and Afghan understands this, AL-Qaeda will find life much more difficult.

Not according to Kennedy and Murtha...why, everyday we create more terrorists by taking out some terrorists, according to them.

Guess the Democrats will have to remove this item from their "Impeach Bush" platform.

Zawahiri could have been injured and lost a leg or an arm and still escaped. There were reports some bodies(perhaps injured but still alive) were removed before authories arrived at the scene. Body parts at the scene would increase the probability of Zawahiri's present at the time of the bombing, but unless there is evidence of vital organs there is still the probability he escaped injured.
