Maggie Daley, who dedicated herself to children’s issues and the arts while also zealously guarding her family’s privacy during 22 years as Chicago’s First Lady, died a little after 6 p.m. tonight, more than nine years after she was diagnosed with breast cancer. She was 68.

Mrs. Daley was surrounded by her husband and family members at her home, according to Jacquelyn Heard, a family friend and the former mayor's spokeswoman.

In a Statement released by Mayor Rahm Emanuel, "Chicago has lost a warm and
gracious First Lady who contributed immeasurably to our city. While
Mayor Daley served as the head of this city, Maggie was its heart."

Ayman al-Zawahri, who turns 60 on Sunday, has long brought ideological fire, tactics and organizational skills to al-Qaeda.
