Ayman al Zawahiri was the target of a Predator missile attack this morning on a religious school in Pakistan, according to Pakistani intelligence sources.
ABC News has learned the raid was launched after U.S. intelligence received tips and examined Predator reconnaissance indicating that al Qaeda's No. 2 man may have been staying at the school, which is located in the Bajaur region near the village that is thought to be al Qaeda's winter headquarters.
Despite earlier reports that the missiles had been launched by Pakistani military helicopters, Pakistani intelligence sources now tell ABC News that the missiles were fired from a U.S. Predator drone plane.

Zawahiri may already be dead from this strike, or captured wounded, or just fleeing for his very life...but he ain't plotting to strike the U.S. again right now no matter his condition, and that's a very good thing.

Every Pakistani madrassa blown to hell, and every radical imam who dies a bloody and painful and gruesome death, makes my heart sing.
We don't need to wait for Al-Qaeda kingpins before we level these foul nests of vipers to the ground. We should be using six dozen a day for target practice.

Pakistani intelligence sources now tell ABC News that they have plausible deniability..."
LOL! LIke they'd take the heat for this.
ABC is mad that CNN outbid them for the terrorist sniper videos.

Between two and five senior al Qaeda militants were killed in the attack, including the mastermind of the airliners plot in the U.K., according to Pakistani intelligence sources.

FYI.
Taking out one these cess pools of Islamofacists should be done at least once a day.
