Is al-Zawahiri dead?

Pakistani Military Sources Say Zawahiri May Be Dead
Forensic Tests to Reveal Fate of al Qaeda Number Two
Brian Ross, ABC News

Jan. 13, 2006 — 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.

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.

The attack took place early this morning Pakistan time in a small village a few miles from the border with Afghanistan.

Andrew Cochran is following the story here.

May he burn in Hell surrounded by hogs.

Click here for Bill Roggio's analysis. Bill brings up the very significant point that the village where al-Zawahiri may or may not have been killed is in Taliban-friendly territory, which may make it difficult to recover remains for a positive I.D. (This conflicts with reports from other sources that the bodies have been recovered and are undergoing forensic analysis.)

*** 2006.01.14 Update:

Thanks to Randy and Peakah, I learned as soon as I was up and around that the bastard apparently wasn't there after all. Fox News has more here. Missed the son of a bitch. This time.
