Terror chief believed dead in Pakistan missile attack

An al-Qaida explosives and chemical weapons expert and a relative of the terror network’s number-two leader were among three top operatives believed killed in a US missile strike in Pakistan last week, Pakistani security officials said today.

Pakistani authorities have said at least four foreign militants were killed in last Friday’s attack in Damadola village near the Afghan border that officials say targeted – but missed – al-Qaida number-two leader Ayman al-Zawahri.
