SHHHHHH, THIS WAS SUPPOSED TO BE ANNOUNCED AT THE DEBATE:

Report: Top Bin Laden deputy caught in Pakistan (THE JERUSALEM POST, Sep. 27, 2004)

Top Bin Laden deputy Ayman al-Zawahri has been caught in Pakistan, according to a report from the region quoted on Israel Radio Monday.

Pakistani forces operating against al Qaida strongholds in the country report capturing the Egyptian national, who was formerly the head of the Egyptian Islamic Jihad, which operated in the past against the Egyptian regime.


The Kerry campaign denounced this as a distraction from the war on the War on Terrorism.

For whatever it's worth, Reuters has a report denying this.
