Today, according to Pakistani military sources, U.S. aircraft attacked a compound known to be frequented by high-level al Qaeda operatives. Pakistani officials tell ABC News that al Qaeda leader Ayman al-Zawahiri, Osama bin Laden's top lieutenant, may have been among them.It may take awhile for the experts to determine if any of the meaty chunks in the rubble belonged to Zawahiri. We can hope so.
U.S. intelligence for the last few days indicated that Zawahiri might have been in the location or about to arrive, although there is still no confirmation from U.S. officials that he was among the victims.
UPDATE: Oh well, looks like we missed him. Better luck next time (but I'll be he won't be sleeping too easy wherever he is).
