Sky news is reporting that Al Zwahiri has surrendured in Pakistan. Just crossed my newswire a few minutes ago.

Osama bin Laden's second in command has been surrounded in Pakistan, President Pervez Musharraf has told CNN.
Troops say they have cornered Ayman al-Zawahri in an operation near the Afghan border.
The operation, involving hundreds of troops and paramilitary rangers, has been carried out in the South Waziristan region.
The identity of the man surrounded has not been confirmed.
But President Musharraf said: "(Judging by) the resistance that is being offered by the people there, we feel that there may be a high value target."
Sky News' Foreign Affairs Editor Tim Marshall said: "Most people believe the number two is actually the brains (behind the al Qaeda network)."
And he added: "If it's true it is an enormous strike. It cannot be underestimated." |

Do you need to poop? I just did.:toothless Read the Marketplace section while I was in there. Brent Mossberg offered no new insight, as usual. |

Yeah, might as well.
It's very cathartic for me.
Thanks for asking, btw. |

For the day Osama will (should) be captured: what will follow?
Will all sleepers and terrorists come out of their holes and give up...? |

Correct. Initial reports coming off the wire said he had surrendured, but they later said he had just been surrounded.
I see 2 possibilities:
either 1) They captured him, but don't want anything released prematurely, so initial reports may have been correct, but protocol would dictate that claiming a surrendur needs some sort of official blessing before hitting the wires.
or 2) He is surrounded and soldiers will fortify their positions and bomb the out of him tomorrow. |
