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 be 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.

Villagers described seeing an unmanned plane circling the area for the last few days and then bombs falling in the early morning darkness.

Eighteen people were killed, according to the villagers who said women and children were among the fatalities.

But Pakistani officials tell ABC News that five of those killed were high-level al Qaeda figures, and their bodies are now undergoing forensic tests for positive identification.

Officials say Zawahiri was known to have used safe houses in this area last winter and was believed to be in the area again this winter.

Zawahiri, who appeared just last week in a new videotaped message, had increasingly been taking the operational reins of al Qaeda, and is thought by U.S. officials to be the current true mastermind of the terrorist group.

Pakistani officials tell ABC News that the bodies of the five suspected al Qaeda figures will be recovered at first light in Pakistan, but it will still take a day or two for any kind of positive identification. U.S. officials in Washington did not comment.

It's always some story like this to keep the morale of the public boosted.  "Oh looky here, we killed the "#2" guy, throw some more money at us"  While i support the troops that are doing what they can there (lord knows i'd hate to be in their shoes) the media and government (mostly media) make such a big frickin deal out of it.  Seems like the #3 guy has been "killed" a couple times already.  They just keep coming, solution: massive x-rays to kill all their sexual organs so no more reproduction.

Situations like this always end up in the following scenario:
The U.S. is a hero (They get the man)
The U.S. are nothing but war criminals (They didn't get their man)

OTOH if we do nothing, and terrorists continue to scour the earth.

Turns out in this case, he was not among the dead.

My local media outlet kept zooming in on the dead cow.  We tend to be animal lovers up so so now Bush kills cows, what a bastard he is.....

Hang tight Rip, I dont trust the pakis....the CIA will need to do a DNA analysis on some charred remains before claiming success or failure.

In any event sounds like some bad guys were smoked.

Yessiree, another blow against the shadowy terrorists.  Or maybe 20 dead women and children whose fathers, sons and brothers  will be more than willing to join in to fight the great satan for murdering thier loved ones.  We went in and beat back saddams army, launched a massive manhunt and finally pulled his arse out of a possom hole so he could stand trial, and we cant go in and take this guy alive or at least make some effort to do so?.  Gimee a fricken break.  Why the different methods?:huh
