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.

Since this guy is Al Queda's number two guy, wouldn't the more culturally-sensitive term be Bin Laden's left hand man?
Yeah, I know that semi-obscure "number two" jokes are pretty lame and juvenile, but if the shoe fits...
Is Lara Logan carrying his baby?
Look at that big ole saggy boob stickin' out. Kinda looks like old Fred's daughter, er, wife. Except Lara's much better looking.
Yeah buddy!
And McCain puts out another brilliant ad and wins the week hands down.
Left hand person.
I guess he was just mostly dead before. Please let him be all dead this time.
Doctor, heal thyself!
I think the quote I meant is “Physician, heal thyself.” Not “Doctor.”
She needs a little help with ‘adjustment’ in that uneven cleavage..... I’d volunteer except the thought of all the different men she’s been with in the past few months might cool my ardor....
Right. Dr. Z has a major mouth on him. He is a physician from Egypt. The spot on his forehead is probably a Seal sniper’s laser dot. Why call a Doctor? Just tell him top heal thyself. Oh yea, we need a phone trace to follow the cruise missiles into vector.
She’s a slore.
I know- I saw that! Whodathunkit?
The Taliban logo
does it look more like the cbs logo or the dnc logo?
I sure hope he doesn’t suffer more that he’s caused others to suffer.
At least not more than each one, one after the other...
Yah, they all seem to be attending each others funerals every three weeks or so ... isn't that what the job of a #2 is ?
Oh well ... they probably don't get an open casket either .....
Rush announced this today on his radio show.
Rush says the guy has been killed
Either way. Suffer in this world or in the next.
I’m not fussy.
Hahahahahahahahahaha
Now THAT would be hilarious!
If somehow CBS killed this bastard
LOL same here!
