U.S. special-ops teams have a standing order to capture or kill him and al-Zawahiri whenever the opportunity arises--even if that means crossing the border. But going after second-tier commanders requires lengthier approvals that are not always granted. "Are you willing to go after them, boots on the ground or high collateral damage, and potentially be politically counterproductive?" asks a senior U.S. counterterrorism official.
