From their web site:

"CBS News has learned that the number two ranking man in the al-Qaida terror network, Muhammed Atef, has been killed."

It wasn't bin Laden...all she knew was that his name had a "Mohammed" in it (really narrows it down, eh? =). Perhaps it was Mullah Omar?

I've read about him too...no doubt about it, this was a big blow to them. The first in a long line of big blows to come very shortly.
