Top al-Qaida terrorists 'killed in US strike'
Two Kenyans said to be among al-Qaida’s top operatives on the FBI’s most wanted terrorist list were killed in a US strike in Pakistan on New Year’s Eve, an American official said today.
One of them, Usama al-Kini, is believed by US intelligence to be behind the September 2008 Marriott Hotel bombing in Islamabad and the October 2007 attack on a convoy carrying Pakistani leader Benazir Bhutto. Ms Bhutto was killed in a separate attack in late 2007.
