| A top terrorist leader wanted by the US for attacking the consulate in Karachi in 2002 is thought to have been killed during an airstrike in North Waziristan. Qari Mohammad Zafar, the operational commander of the Fedayeen-i-Islam, is reported to have been killed in a US airstrike in the village of Danda Darpa Khel, Pakistani officials told Dawn. The US last hit the village on Feb. 18, and killed Mohammed Haqqani, a military commander in the Haqqani Network. US intelligence officials contacted by The Long War Journal would not confirm his death but said it was “possible' he was killed. Zafar is wanted by the US government for his involvement in the Karachi Consulate bombing in 2002, which resulted in the death of three Pakistanis and a consular official. "Zafar is suspected of being a key figure involved with this attack," according to the Rewards for Justice website page. A $5 million reward has been offered for information leading the capture of Zafar. |
