A strike by an American Predator drone in Pakistan’s tribal areas in January missed Al Qaeda’s second in command, Ayman al-Zawahri, by just two hours, an intelligence official here says, disclosing that the hunt for Al Qaeda’s leaders had come much closer to killing him than was previously thought.
Zawahri left a dinner in the village of Damadola at 10:30 on the night of Jan. 12, with Maulavi Liaqat, a local supporter, an intelligence official with knowledge of the incident said in an interview. The house where they had eaten was hit at 12:30 that night, the official said.
