EXCLUSIVE: Pakistani Military Sources Say Zawahiri May Be Dead
ABC News ^ | January 13, 2006 | Brian Ross

Jan. 13, 2006 — Today, according to Pakistani military sources, U.S. aircraft attacked a compound known to be frequented by high level al Qaeda operatives. Pakistani officials tell ABC News that al Qaeda leader Dr. Ayman al-Zawahiri, Osama bin Laden's top lieutenant, may have been among them.

U.S. intelligence for the last few days indicated that Zawahiri might be in the location or about to arrive, although there is still no confirmation from U.S. officials that he was among the victims.

our military is bogged down in a pointless war 1000 miles away from where our real enemies are.

Do you read much here?

You can't understand why we don't have 500,000 troops in Afghanistan?

How about because it didn't work for the Russians....

I was with Bush in the begining, but it's slowly becoming clear that the effectiveness of his response to 9/11 has far short of stellar.

I was with you in the beginning, but now I am not. Go back to the dark side.

Coming in late to the thread. Sorry if this has been posted:

MSNBC: "One official said intelligence indicated a strong possibility that Zawahri was in the Pakistani village at the time of the airstrike, but there is no confirmation that he was killed." And quoting source: “Anyone who tells you there is clarity on whether he [Zawahri] was killed ... do not take what they are saying as gospel.” A reliable source with high-level U.S. contacts tells me that U.S. "really believes" we might have whacked him.

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

"Do you really believe we have complete imbeciles running this show, that they would not make every effort to secure such a valuable strike zone?"

Good point Coop. If there were 10 Predator drones sent in (as another poster has alleged), firing 10 hellfire missles, I suspect there might just be a little bit of DNA evidence left that wasn't carried away with any bodies carried off. I'm not sure how many people were at this site, but if 10 hell fire missles were fired, one must objectively ask, "How much is there to be carried off, and how many are left to carry off?" Hmmmmmm?

Considering the extent to which these cowards were going to, to hide, there is even the possibility that the ran off in the night not even looking back.

MSNBC just said they hit with 10 hellfires.

As a point of comparison, we defeated Hitler in about 3 1/2 years.

In that war, the Democrats were on our side.

A very obvious post, he sounded like one of those seminar callers on C-span. Poor DUmmy, he only lasted a couple of months here before he exposed himself. There are FreepDummies who have been on DU for YEARS..

CNN said their report was coming from the CIA.

Did the CIA leak include how many children, puppies and kittens were killed?
