US welcomes death of Al-Qaeda No. 3
None
The White House on Tuesday welcomed the killing of al-Qaeda number three Mustafa Abu al-Yazid, and said it was "unquestionably a severe blow" to the global terror network.
"We welcome his demise," White House spokesman Robert Gibbs said, after a Pakistani security official said there was "reason to believe" Yazid was dead, and was probably killed in a drone attack in North Waziristan in late May. (AFP)
