<<One intelligence official said captured fighters said al-Zawahri had been wounded. The operation began Tuesday in South Waziristan with hundreds of troops and paramilitary rangers, who fired artillery and used helicopter gunships to attack dug-in al-Qaida fighters. Dozens of fighters were killed and 18 were captured, the intelligence official said. "We have been receiving intelligence and information from our agents who are working in the tribal areas that al-Zawahri could be among the people hiding there," a military official said. "All of our efforts are to capture him." An intelligence official and senior politician in President Gen. Pervez Musharraf's government both confirmed the account. All spoke on condition of anonymity. The United States has offered a $25 million reward for information leading to al-Zawahri's capture.>> reports..
