"Pakistani Jihadi leaders like Ameer Baitullah Mehsud, Commander Ilyas Kashmiri, Commander Binyamin and Commander Badr Mansoor (may Allah have mercy upon them) are targeted in drone attacks and similarly the son of the respected Afghan leader Jalaluddin Haqqani"

"May Allah have mercy upon him" -- the single Arabic term "rahimullah" -- clearly indicates Ilyas Kashmiri was indeed killed in the July 2011 US drone strike.
