Looks like a US drone has killed Al-kini and some Sheikh sahib from Sweden. Khus cum jahan paak.
55 Pakistanis died and not a peep from the Gaza jumpers of Pak origin. Well it doesn’t matter now. Al-kini and his kin is rest “well” in hell. So sad Kini and shaikh sahib. You wasted your lives by killing and maiming people all in the name of Islam.
Pakistan al-Qaeda chief ‘killed’
Al-Qaeda’s operations chief in Pakistan and another top aide are believed to have been killed, US sources say.
Usama al-Kini and his lieutenant, Sheikh Ahmed Salim Swedan, were both killed in recent days, US counter-terrorism officials said.
Al-Kini was believed to be behind last year’s deadly attack on the Marriott hotel in Islamabad, they said.
Fifty-five people were killed when a truck packed with explosives rammed the hotel in September 2008.
Both al-Qaeda suspects died in South Waziristan, on Pakistan’s border with Afghanistan, an unidentified US counter-terrorism official told Reuters news agency.
“These deaths are a significant near-term degradation of al-Qaeda’s leadership,” he added.
He gave no details of how the men died. But the Washington Post, also citing intelligence sources, said they were killed in a missile strike by a CIA drone aircraft on a building on 1 January.
“They died preparing new acts of terror,” the US daily quoted a counter-terrorism official as saying.
The men - both born in Kenya - were on the FBI’s most-wanted list over the 1998 bombings of US embassies in Kenya and Tanzania.
Al-Kini was also thought to have been behind an unsuccessful attempt on the life of former Pakistani Prime Minister Benazir Bhutto, who was later killed in a separate attack, US officials said.
