Closing in on al-Qaida mastermind
Pakistani officials said last night that intelligence indicated Egyptian-born Ayman al-Zawahri, al-Qaida's No 2, has been cornered in an operation. As mentor to bin Laden and the brains behind al-Qaida, al-Zawahri is considered one of the world's most dangerous terrorists.
One intelligence official said captured fighters said al-Zawahri had been wounded.
