Pakistani official: Al-Qaeda commander dead

None

Pakistan's Interior Minister says he is 100 percent certain that wanted al-Qaeda commander Ilyas Kashmiri was killed in a recent US drone strike.

 

Rehman Malik did not say Monday how he knew Kashmiri was killed by a missile in a militant sanctuary near the Afghan border. Pakistani intelligence has said the wanted terrorist was killed in a Friday drone strike. US officials have yet to publicly comment on whether Kashmiri was killed. (AP)
