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.

Where or when have we heard this before...
On the other hand, presumably there were some fatalities. Unfortunately it doesn't seem as tho this snake will die when the head is cut off.

"hat will take time, and according to the AP story many of the bodies have already been buried....DNA tests need body parts....and take a few days to a few weeks...."
Then dig them up and kill them again, after taking a few body parts.

So it could have been one bird.
There is no way we hit a village in the dead of night without 100% proof Zawahiri was there....to many innocents in the neighborhood.

Had you done that before, your chain would not have been yanked.
Perhaps. Still, this news article does give one hope that the Z-man is now a grease spot. I hope the coming days confirms the report.

They said Osama bin Ladin's deputy, who has been known to stay at houses in the village, may have been one of the victims. Gee, according to this Rooters story on the Gulf News website, there've never been any furriners in the village before. From the link:
It appears the Americans suspected some foreigners or wanted people were hiding in these houses. But there have never been foreigners in this area before."

The only thing they found was a stinking turban with his name written on the inside, two front teeth, a big toe, and a loaded pair of size 54 underoos with sheep stud written on them over a red broken heart.

Cindy's dark roots (in her hair, that is) are really showing in that picture. That's due to the massive air leak from her head.

Al-Zarqawi probablyis not in Iraq. Getting too dangerous there, Sunnis are killing Al-quada types.

Well gee, what side are you rooting for?Check my posts from the past for confirmation that I am on the same side you are. I was not commenting on the righteousness of getting Zawa. My son called me from a restaurant when he saw the first bulletins on a TV. He was thrilled and knew I would be. Good kid. I just though it was strange that they basically said "I am really, really sure we might have got him." The MIGHT just takes the edge of certainty off, a bit. Are you still ticked off at my comment about the Christmas card, or what? I can send you copies of the checks if you want.
