Yeh i just heard that on the news a few moments ago. It would indeed be interesting to see him caught. Do you suppose Pakistan would hand him over to America if they catch him?

It would be good to see him caught. I think that America will probably try to take him off the Pakistanis' hands though.

Oh, you must have edited your post while I was replying to it.
I was saying that the Pakistani government has cooperated a lot with the US since the beginning of the war in Afghanistan, and the Pakistani forces have probably handed over a few captured al Qaeda members to the US in the past. So I think the Pakistanis would turn over this guy to the US too, should they capture him.

I think Pakistan will hand him over to US authorities. Unless he kills himself. It has been said that even though publicly Musharraf is saying that we are not in Pakistan - privately we are.

If we do catch Ayman al-Zawahiri alive - it may lead to the capture of bin Ladin - because chances are - that they are either near each other - or he knows where bin Ladin is. I am curious as to why they think it's al-Zawahiri and NOT bin Ladin though. For one thing - they don't even seem to really know for absolute certainty who it is.

I'll be very surprised if this turns into anything concrete...........he won't be "caught" until much closer to November.

I read that they think it's Zawahiri because he'd been reported in that location just before.
I also think he's too prominent for them to use the Pakistani "back-room" boys- as well, the Pakistani security forces are hotbeds of fundamentalist sympathizers. Plus which I would imagine Musharraf would like to get this hot potato out of the country and off his hands as soon as possible. I hope they do get him- though the symbolism is less, he's a more dangerous figure than bin Laden..

I also hope that they aren't just going by this information.

There is supposed to be close to 500 Al-Quaeda and Taleban fighters there, I expect it to be a little bit bloody digging them out.
