Mixed Reports?

I posted last night that the Osama's No. 2 had been targeted was apparently dead -- we were waiting on forensic test to confirm. You can see them here and here. Now we have this report:

Pakistan Condemns Purported CIA Airstrike - Yahoo! News

"Their information was wrong, and our investigations conclude that they acted on a false information," said a senior Pakistani intelligence official with direct knowledge of Pakistan's investigations into the attack.

His account was confirmed by a senior government official who said al-Zawahri "was not there." Both officials spoke on condition of anonymity because of the subject's sensitivity.

But we also have this report...

ABC News: U.S. Aircraft Targeted al Qaeda Leader

This morning, CIA officials remained optimistic about the strike, but there still has been no confirmation that Zawahiri was among those killed at the scene. However, Pakistani officials now have told the Associated Press they have information that Zawahiri was not at the scene, though it's not clear how they know that.

I guess we are still in wait and see mode.
