Political Humor | al-Zawahiri Targeted

D’oh! I figured out what happened to the original. I guess I’ll just keep both posts up to confuse everyone. Sorry for the double post. I messed up while updating.

From al-Reuters:

A U.S. airstrike in Pakistan targeted al Qaeda’s second-in-command, Ayman al-Zawahri, but it was unclear if he had been killed, U.S. media quoted U.S. and Pakistani sources as saying on Friday

In an airstrike that killed at least 17, five of the dead terrorists are said to be “high level” al Qaeda targets.

Maj. Chris Karns reporting from CentCom denied any official report of the attack:

“At this time, there is nothing in the operational reporting to suggest that this attack or incident occurred from a U.S. Central Command perspective.”

Pakistani officials are investigating the incident. and confirming only that there were explosions in the area.

I hope it’s true.

UPDATE: Surprise! ASSociated Press makes us the bad guys.

“My entire family was killed, and I don’t know whom should I blame for it,” said Sami Ullah, a 17-year old student, as he shifted debris from his ruined home with a hoe. “I only seek justice from God.”

He claims 24 family members were killed. There’s plenty more in ASS Press’s shameful reporting, but that’s all I can handle on a Friday night.

Update #2: al-Zawahiri reported NOT dead… Dammit!
