We’ll see…

“High value target” surrounded in Pakistan - Mansoor Ijaz, Fox News' Foreign Affairs Analyst, reported Thursday that according it is "highly probable that the high value target" that has been surrounded is either Usama bin Laden or al-Zawahri," according to Pakistani intelligence sources.

Update: Bloomberg says it’s Zawahiri

NRO’s Corner says no it’s not.

And here's sorta-reputable Sky News (via Rantburg):

But President Pervez Musharraf said: "(Judging by) the resistance that is being offered by the people there, we feel that there may be a high value target."
Sky News' Foreign Affairs Editor Tim Marshall said: "Most people believe the number two is actually the brains (behind the al Qaeda network)."
And he added: "If it's true it is an enormous strike. It cannot be underestimated."

If it's true.
