"..Pakistani officials tell ABC News that the bodies of the five suspected al Qaeda figures will be recovered at first light in Pakistan,"

In which case, if they are important people, their bodies will be gone by dawn.

Happy Friday the 13th, Zawahiri.

Ooooo...that's right. Gives new meaning to Friday the 13th. But do we know if the compound was hit today or if the news is just getting out today?

I would imagine the drone would stay on station to see who comes sniffing around...

and it carries more than one missile.

Ditto, Dog. God rest their souls, and may God exert his eternal punishment on Zawahiri.
