Update on Fighting in Pakistan
by TChris
Four days ago, it appeared that Pakistani troops had surrounded the number two Al Qaeda leader, Ayman al-Zawahri. (TalkLeft provided information about al-Zawahri here.)
Since then, Pakistani officials have declined to say that al-Zawahri is being protected by Al Qaeda militants in the heavy fighting, but have speculated that the intensity of the fighting means that the militants are protecting a "high value target." Now, as the fighting wanes, the hope of capturing that unidentified target may be fading. News sources report that key figures in the battle may have escaped through hidden tunnels.
