Unverified Letter Obtained By CBS News Urgently Requests Doctor To Treat Ayman al-Zawahiri
CBS) Ayman al-Zawahiri - the second most powerful leader in al Qaeda and Osama Bin Laden's No. 2 - may be critically wounded and possibly dead, CBS News chief foreign affairs correspondent Lara Logan reports exclusively.
CBS News has obtained a copy of an intercepted letter from sources in Pakistan, which urgently requests a doctor to treat al-Zawahiri. He's believed to be somewhere in Pakistan's remote tribal areas of Pakistan.
The letter refers to Sheikh Dr. Ayman al-Zawahiri by name - and says that he is in "severe pain" and his "injuries are infected."
It is reportedly written by local Taliban leader, Baitullah Mehsud, whose signature and seal are visible on the letter.
The Taliban logo and the Mehsud's seal have been confirmed by experts as legitimate.
However, CBS News has not been able to confirm the authenticity of Baitullah Mehsud's signature and seal.
The letter is dated July 29 - one day after a U.S. air strike that killed al Qaeda weapons expert Abu Khabab al-Masri, and five other Arabs in South Waziristan.

“If we can intercept the letter, why don’t next time we sprinkle a little anthrax in there and send it on its way.”
Put this white powder where it hurts...
Surprisingly, Air Traffic Controller is still #1 thanks to Ayman’s breathren. But AQ Leader #2 is the second “most stressful” due to the fact they all rapidly turn to worm #2.
Bad news! Sad day,if true, ....i mean for Mister Messiah-”citizen-of-the-world”-OUSBAMA and the liberal-leftist whining anti-war crowds.
Just waiting for confirmations and eager to see the face of some “journalists” giving the information....
CBS likely forwarded the letter to Ted Kennedy

Another recent favorite of that sort was Wolf Blitzer’s incredibly insightful comment on this last Southern California earthquake:
“There’s going to be some damage, but not nearly as significant as a more significant earthquake would have caused.”
Really, Wolf? You don’t say!?
You’ve got to love it, it’s in the CNN transcript and everything.
The Supreme Court says he is entitled to Medicare and Medicaid.
I hope this is true. Bin Laden may be the face of al Qaeda but Ayman al-Zawahiri runs the show. I have always wanted him dead more than Bin Laden.
hopefully we got him
In an Obama administration the US would strike al Qaeda with lawyers.
He’ll never decompose. The worms and the bacteria won’t be able to stomach him.
In other news, Ted Kennedy flew the top 6 infected wounds experts to Pakistan and a medevac is standing by to take his dear friend to duke medical center.
thats even more dumb considering the richter scale is heavily exponential.

Zawahiri is #1 to me. Bin Laden is just the financier. Al Queda is Zawahiri’s baby.
Yup. Bin Laden is the face of the organization but Zawahiri is the brains.
LOL..don’t forget affirmative action if he is acquitted by some leftist judge. He might want to stay in the United States and by then Pelosi and Reid will have added ‘former’ terrorists to the affirmative action list.
You're no doofuss, do; you just left the qualifier off.
It appears quite evident that Dingy Harry is #2, Prancy Nancy who got too fancy yesterday is #3, and Mr. Murtha is #4 in the Al Qaeda organization in the American Theater of the WOT.
