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.

Kunar is where we lost the Seals.All the more reason I hope it turns out to be Al Z and his cohorts that were killed.

Batchelor doesn't have Babbin or Loftis on his schedule tonight. I hope he brings in someone to fill in the unknown blanks of this story.

You guys are too kind.
And after hearing he is dead for about the 10,000th time, it seemed perfect.

Least believable statement of the year award.
Roger that! We are certainly dealing with a culture of infantile, cowardly liars.

4 hellfires per drone according to that article. Went looking....and found this 2002 article:
"The Air Force, for example, has plans for hunter-killer teams of laser-designator-equipped reconnaissance Predators and next-generation Predator Bs. The latter will have a 50% greater payload capacity and be able to fly longer (up to 24 hr), faster (over 220 kt), and higher (up to 52,000 ft). Using a laser target designator to illuminate targets, the Predator B would descend to about 15,000 ft and attack the target with up to eight laser-guided Hellfire missiles (carried in two four-round M200 rail launchers) or even the 250-lb small-diameter bomb now in development. The current Predator can carry only two Hellfire missiles.
With its greater size and power, the Predator B also could meet the Air Forces need for a reconnaissance UAV that falls between the current baseline Predator and the Global Hawk, which can operate at altitudes of up to 65,000 ft.

Yeah, 8 Hellfires per Predator B -- an upgrade!

In that case, it looks like they are now considering alQ to be a significant liability to Pak govt interests (like being on the list of places to sterilize if alQ ever dotonates a nuke on US soil) ...now considering Al Qaeda a liability?
From an Al Qaeda point of view, Musharref jumped the shark quite aways back.

I thought CNN reported he was number 2. Probbaly a lot of #2 in his pants at the last minute.
