FOXNews.com - Report: Al Qaeda No. 2 Zawahiri Injured, Possibly Killed - International News | News of the World | Middle East News | Europe NewsKind of poetic justice - here's someone who's orchestrated a lot of death and destruction. And he's wounded, in severe pain, and with infected injuries.Al Qaeda’s second in command, Ayman al-Zawahiri, may be injured or even dead, according to a CBS News report based on an intercepted letter that urgently requests a doctor to treat Zawahiri.
CBS News says it obtained a copy of the letter from sources in Pakistan, where Zawahiri, second only to Usama bin Laden, is thought to be hiding.The letter, reportedly written by a local Taliban leader and dated Tuesday, says Zawahiri is in "severe pain" and his "injuries are infected," according to the report.
Lingering, painful death... somehow, that seems appropriate.
