Slowly the story is being fleshed out...this narrows down some what who in AQ attended this dinner party.

[Dog]

Fyi..

[tet68]

This could get interesting.

[muawiyah]

You mean there was no wedding celebration this time?

[Perdogg]

ping!

[OldFriend]

If it's CNN it's bull

[Dog Gone]

Zawahiri is Egyptian.

Keeping fingers crossed...

[Imperialist]

Excellent! This story's come around a full 360°!

[skinkinthegrass]

thxs...its getting better ...and better. :D

[Walkingfeather]

Well the good thing is the terrorist is getting a hefty dose of terrorism himself. If he sees that he was supposed to be at that dinner and "it blowed up real good" that has got to make him toss and turn at night. Which will make him panic, and make mistakes. So either way ....

[Perdogg]

Here are all of the ones listed as Egyptians, I don't when it was update to exclude captured or dead, it is from the gov't.

Have the DNA reports come in?

[ladyjane]

I'm wondering who the real targets were.

[eleni121]

Unleash those drones...the more the merrier.

[NavyCanDo]

No mention of any bad guys at the location at all by NBC News. Just that our target was not there.

[A.A. Cunningham]

Gotta watch those Egyptians.

[Dog Gone]

At a minimum, this should cut down on the number of al-Qaida dinner and cocktail parties from now on.

We may have to focus on who in Pakistan is ordering Domino's Pizza delivered.

[winker]

Hmmmmmmmmm! ZaWa Haywire is a Egyptian.....Hmmmmmmm! We should be so fortunate!

[Mad_Tom_Rackham]

Interesting. Despite the obligatory protestation from the Pakistan Gov't, there appears to have been a great deal of collaboration (for which, I imagine they have been handsomely paid). We have the intel on the ground and a major operation to laser tag the targets, which were apparently struck by at least ten Predator drones (or something else?).

From the article: In addition to the militants, 18 local residents also were killed, setting off anti-American protests across Pakistan. -- Wazir said two Muslim clerics had invited 10 to 12 foreign militants to the dinner.

Guess that answers the "collateral damage" question. Invite a US-enemy terrorist over for dinner and you die.

Also from the article: U.S. sources have told CNN that the remains of about 12 bodies, including as many as eight foreigners, were quickly retrieved by a group of men after the air strike, and taken elsewhere for burial.

Wonder how we retrieved the DNA samples?

Anyway, I'm holding out hope that we got that subhuman, Zawahiri.

This is unconfirmed. Cnn must provide the name of who confirmed this. "Un-named sources" do NOT cut it.
