According to US official, Al-Qaeda's suspected operations chief Atiyah Abd al-Rahman, has been killed in Pakistan.
The Libyan terrorist was killed on 22 August in the volatile Pakistani tribal region of Waziristan.
He would not say how Abd al-Rahman died, but a CIA drone strike was reported in Waziristan on the same day.
Abd al-Rahman was reportedly number two on a list of the five top terrorist in Afghanistan and Pakistan whom the US most wanted to capture or kill.
In October 2010, Pakistani intelligence officials believed that Abd al-Rahman had been killed in an air strike by a US drone in North Waziristan.
