1Ayman al-Zawahiri		Egyptian	AQ deputy commander
2,7Maulana Faqir Mohammed		Pakistani	Pro-Taliban cleric (suspected of moving bodies)
2,7Liaqat Ali		Pakistani	Pro-Taliban cleric 7(suspected of moving bodies)

⁴U.S. officials have said that four to eight al Qaeda-affiliated "foreigners" were killed in the attack, including some Egyptians. The bodies were quickly removed by accomplices and buried elsewhere, knowledgeable sources have said…Pakistani officials have said that "four or five" foreign fighters were killed in the strike, along with 18 civilians, including five children and five women.

Coop comment: 18 seems to keep popping up, as in 18 “innocent” civilians. Five women and five children can be reasonably assumed to be innocents, leaving us with eight likely terrorists and their supporters. So you can see why the U.S. officials keep coming out with up to eight killed.

⁵Friday's strike was the third believed to have been carried out since May by CIA-operated Predator drone aircraft in Pakistani tribal lands near the Afghan border. Abu Hamza Rabia, an Egyptian said to have been al Qaeda's No. 3 commander, was killed in December, and a known al Qaeda bombmaker, Haitham al-Yemeni, was killed in May.

Update: the clerics [Mohammed and Ali] returned to lead funeral rites for the victims. Then they came back again to lead a large protest against the allegedly CIA-led sortie.

Mohammed and Ali mobilized around 8,000 armed men to fight US forces after its invasion of Afghanistan following the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks in the United States, Pakistani officials said.

The two are already wanted for harboring terrorists, and the government has outlawed their Islamic group, Tehrik-e-Nifaz-e-Shariat Mohammadi, or Movement for the Enforcement of Islamic Law. In May last year, security forces raided their homes in Hewai, arresting at least a dozen suspected terrorists from Uzbekistan.
