Fingers crossed Boys, we may have gotten this SOB

Stratfor today reports that Al Qaeda No. 2 man Ayman al-Zawahiri is rumored to have been killed in a July 28 U.S. airstrike in Pakistan. According to the report "the United States is attempting to verify reports that a July 28 airstrike" has killed Al Qaeda's number two man Zawahiri.

The Jawa Reports reads:

"Intelligence sources told The Jawa Report last week that 'the hunt was on' in Pakistan for a 'big fish'. Could this be the big fish they were talking about?

"The major -- and I mean major -- caveat here is that Zawahiri has been rumored to have been killed on a number of previous occasions."

Wikipedia On Ayman al-Zawahiri

Dr. Ayman Muhammad Rabaie al-Zawahiri or (closer to the original Arabic pronunciation) al-Dhawahri (born June 19, 1951), is a prominent leader of al-Qaeda, and was the second and last "emir" of Egyptian Islamic Jihad, having succeeded 'Abbud al-Zummar in the latter role when Egyptian authorities sentenced al-Zummar to life imprisonment. Al-Zawahiri is a qualified surgeon, and is an author of works including numerous al-Qaeda statements. He speaks Arabic and English. Al-Zawahiri is under worldwide embargo by the UN 1267 Committee as a member or affiliate of al-Qaeda.

In 1998 al-Zawahiri formally merged Egyptian Islamic Jihad into al-Qaeda. According to reports by a former al-Qaeda member, he has worked in the al-Qaeda organization since its inception and was a senior member of the group's shura council. He is often described as a "lieutenant" to Osama bin Laden. As of June 2008, he is still at large.

Let's waith and see if al-Zawahiri's death rumors are confirmed.

I hope they can confirm he is dead and is now worm bait

This would be a plum for the US. Zawahiri is the brains of Al Qaeda. Bin Laden is the frontman, but Zawahiri is more dangerous, imo.

Fingers crossed here as well....

This POS always gave me the creeps. His aura just radiates evil. Hope they pulverized his rear end and blasted his any remaining molecules into the Starfor-sphere. Sorry...

I don't know why everyone hates Bin Laden. Our goverment trained him, his family was meeting with goverment officials the day of 9/11, then our goverment faked his 9/11 confession tapes, what a brainwashed society we have become.

Although I agree with the original post, Al-Queda are scum. But so is our goverment, and every goverment out there really.
