Osama bin Laden and Ayman al ZawahiriFrom CBS News
(CBS) Ayman al-Zawahiri - the second most powerful leader in al Qaeda and Osama Bin Laden's No. 2 - may be critically wounded and possibly dead, CBS News chief foreign affairs correspondent Lara Logan reports exclusively.
CBS News has obtained a copy of an intercepted letter from sources in Pakistan, which urgently requests a doctor to treat al-Zawahiri. He's believed to be somewhere in Pakistan's remote tribal areas of Pakistan.
The letter refers to Sheikh Dr. Ayman al-Zawahiri by name - and says that he is in "severe pain" and his "injuries are infected."
It is reportedly written by local Taliban leader, Baitullah Mehsud, whose signature and seal are visible on the letter.
The Taliban logo and the Mehsud's seal have been confirmed by experts as legitimate.

My Comment: Pakistan and their Intelligence Department (The ISI) have consistently denied that he was in the country. They either lied .... or are incompetent. Both answers are not satisfactory.
It is clear that something has happened to al-Zawahiri. There are many media reports coming out of Pakistan and from sources that have access to U.S. intelligence. I will be compiling a list of reports and will be posting them up tomorrow (Saturday) at 9:00 AM EST.
