Zawahiri, DEAD???

Fox News
U.S. Attack in Pakistan Targeted Al Qaeda Hideout

An airstrike in a remote Pakistani tribal area killed at least 17 people on Friday, and a senior Pakistani official said the target was a suspected Al Qaeda hideout that may have been frequented by high-level operatives, possibly the No. 2 leader Ayman al-Zawahiri.

Citing unnamed American intelligence officials, U.S. networks reported that it was a CIA strike and that al-Zawahiri, Usama bin Laden's top lieutenant, could have been at the compound in the Bajur area or about to arrive.

There was no confirmation from either the Pakistani or U.S. government, but a senior Pakistani government official told The Associated Press that "there is 50-50 chance that some Al Qaeda personality was at the home" that was hit.
We can sure hope they got him. Zawahiri has been the face of Al Qaeda for some time now, as old Bin Laden seems to be hiding from the public. I saw on the news while cooking supper that Pakistan is claiming that 30 or more civilians where killed in the hellfire missile attack.
