The Pakistani army killed an Egyptian al Qaeda member, wanted for involvement in the 1998 bombing of US embassies in Kenya and Tanzania, in an air strike in North Waziristan on Wednesday. A government spokesman identified the man as Abdul Rehman, one of the aliases used by Muhsin Musa Matwalli Atwah, for whom the United States had offered a $5 million reward. He was killed along with six other Islamist militants in a missile attack on their hideout, according to officials. |
