Ayman al-Zawahiri on a conjugal visit with 72 virgins?

According to The Jawa Report, it's true:

I thought this was important enough to leave above the fold.

Via 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 Zawahiri. He's believed to be somewhere in Pakistan's remote tribal areas of Pakistan.

The letter refers to Sheikh Dr. Ayman ul 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.

U.S. officials have already confirmed that the july 28th airstrike killed an al Qaeda chemical weapons expert named Midhat Mursi al-Sayid Umar (aka, Abu Khabab al-Masri). The target of the attack was a house close to a madrasa used by jihadists near Azam Warsak village, about 20 km (12 miles) west of Wana, the main town of the South Waziristan region bordering Afghanistan.

Several foreigners in addition to Abu Khabab were also said to have been killed in the attaack (sic).

Here's hoping it's factual and not yet another false alarm.
