Senior al-Qaida member killed
Print Edition
A United States air strike in Afghanistan killed a senior al-Qaida commander in charge of suicide bombing and two other militants, the Pentagon said yesterday.
The July 11 attack, in Paktika province, killed Abu Khalil al-Sudani, a “high-ranking al-Qaida operational commander,” it said in a statement.
“Al-Sudani was one of three known violent extremists killed in the strike,” it said, adding that his death will “degrade al-Qaida operations across the globe.”
The Pentagon described Sudani as a senior member of the group’s “shura,” or council, and head of al-Qaida suicide and explosive operations, and said he was directly linked to plotting attacks against the US.
“He also directed operations against Coalition, Afghan and Pakistani forces,” the statement said.
