Four current and former U.S. offi- cials said Abu Mohammed al-Masri, al-Qaida’s No. 2, was killed by assas- sins in the Iranian capital in August.

Demonstrators gathered in several cities around the U.S. to show support for the president. the Middle East about the fate of the group’s leader, Ayman al-Zawahri. The officials could not confirm those reports but said the U.S. intelligence community was trying to determine their credibility.
