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.

YOU MEANIES!!
You guys are hitting her below the belt.....

LOL! He wanted war with the U.S. He got it.
Maybe al-Zawahiri can somehow find his way to Shelbyville, Tennessee, to the Tyson Chicken Plant and have someone tend to him. I heard there is a sanctuary for Muslim terrorists that has been created there for the heathen offspring of porcine origin. He could celebrate the October 1st Satanic holiday while he’s there since the Tyson Chicken plant has decided to allow employees the day off for that Satanic holiday instead of Labour day...
Wow! Obama goes to Afghanistan and Z-man gets whacked. The messiah is really gooooooooooood! /sarcasm
Gut Shot maybe?? Peritonitis can be quite painful... and deadly. That is why a ruptured appendix has such a high fatality rate.

BTW, you should see what these look like up close...They just recently took away our 147th (F-16’s) from Ellington and replaced them with some of these...
Our active CAP will come from the 138th FW in Oklahoma...

Is this Dan Rather at it again, creating FAUX NEWS??
lol
Can I offer some support and advice?
I lived that life for four years and I even scared off the most “Evangelical” bosses because they could not deal with the fact the Human Resource departments ALL OVER force this edict on employees. I fought it and got beat up.
I am here now!

Ok, give them a side dish of Bin Laden pate
What he said was "appears he may have been". Sorry, it gives the left too much ammo to miss-state even a small Rush quote.
bttt
When I first saw this story I was a little disappointed that maybe he was only hurt instead of killed.
But then came the thought of a long slow lingering, pain-filled, raging infection sort of death... And I felt oddly better about the whole thing.
***Umar’s 18-year-old son, another Egyptian, two Saudis and a Pakistani were also among the six people killed when missiles hit a house attached to a village mosque, security officials said.***
The Al Qaeda “Emirs” in Iraq have had a tough time of it, too.
