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.

"Peter Bergen" interviewed by Anderson Cooper on CNN, was referring to Al-Z only in the PAST tense.....but then went on to say..."we don't really know what happened"

Residents of Damadola, a hillside hamlet about 6.5 kilometres inside northwestern Pakistan, recounted hearing aircraft flying overhead before bombs or missiles crashed through the Pashtun tribal village - blasts that were felt kilometres away.

You would not "feel" hellfire explosions kilometers away....

They know.

CR ...Straight Vermonter posted a link up the thread on a missile strike on Jan 9th....IMHO...I think they were aiming at Zawahiri in that strike.

The earlier strike was in North Waziristan. Today's strike would be east of Konar (Kunar) on this map.

You might, depending on ambient conditions, terrain and ordnance type.
