This story in the Straights Times is interesting, but very speculative.

NBC News cited western intelligence officials as saying the Jordanian, identified in the report as Humam Khalil Abu-Mulal al-Balawi, had been brought to Afghanistan with the specific mission of finding and meeting Al-Qaeda number two, Ayman al-Zawahiri. NBC said his handler in Afghanistan, a captain in the Jordanian intelligence services identified by the Jordanian state news agency Petra as Ali bin Zeid, was killed in the attack along with seven CIA officers... CNN (video link) reports the same.
