From the desk of Jane Galt:Toad in the hole?
Various news sources are reporting that the Pakistanis think they have Ayman Al-Zawahiri cornered; Anticipatory Retaliation thinks that they've actually captured him. If it's true, it would certainly be glorious news.

FYI, I'll be keeping an updated post on the top my blog with linkable information, as it becomes available.

Posted by: Ed on March 18, 2004 04:18 PMAs I'm sure you're all aware there are a sea of reports indicating that fighting is ongoing and is expected to continue for the next few hours. These reports also suggest that the individual cornered is, indeed, al-Zawahiri. However, beyond the Bloomberg report mentioned in my post, I have found nothing to post to coroborate suggestions that he has either surrendered or been captured. Additional reports do suggest that he has been wounded in the fighting. So, in all, I feel that I must retract my original claims as they seem to be either premature or overblown or both. I will continue to update this post as events warrant.
