 The Pakistani media speculated that Pakistan Army had surrounded a ""high value target"" in the mountainous region, possibly al-Qaeda's then-second-in-command Ayman al-Zawahiri.According to the military intelligence in 2004, all militants were Chechens, Uzbeks, and Tajiks who were trying to flee "Black Caves" (Tora Bora of Afghanistan).After a week of the battle, the entire area was captured and as many as 400 al-Qaeda operatives were apprehended by the Pakistan Army.
