Khalid Sheikh Muhammad's interrogation and the investigation of the materials found in his possession are likely to tighten the ring around other commanders in the organization and may even turn up information about the location of bin Laden and his deputy, Ayman al-Zawahiri ­ thought they can certainly be expected to change their hiding place.
