Rumors have been flying around that Al Qaeda freakazoid Ayman al-Zawahiri was killed in a US airstrike, but the Taliban deny it: Pakistani Taliban deny Zawahri death report.

ISLAMABAD (Reuters) - A Pakistani Taliban spokesman denied on Saturday a U.S. media report that al Qaeda number two, Ayman al Zawahri, might have been killed or wounded in a U.S. missile strike in Pakistan’s border region last Monday.

“Zawahri has been killed by them several times. But once again this claim is wrong. This is baseless,” Maulvi Omar told Reuters by telephone from an undisclosed location.
