ITAR-TASS once reported that Ayman Al Zawahiri died during operations by US special forces in Tora-Bora. This appeared on the Hindu newspaper dated April 15 (2002 or 2003 or 2004). No other paper reported it and the contents were removed from the website almost immediately. His death could have meant the end of war. How would anyone let that happen? Puzzling are the ways of these agencies. Whenever such news appears, a video immiedtaley surfaces. How come?
