"WASHINGTON -- A top Al Qaeda commander who trained and led foreign militants assisting the Taliban resurgence in Afghanistan has been killed in neighboring Pakistan, officials said Thursday in what appeared to be a significant victory for U.S.-led forces hunting members of the terrorist network.
The death of Libyan-born Abu Laith al Libi was reported on militant websites, which praised him as a martyr who died helping lead a "holy war" against the West. While Al Libi's death had not yet been confirmed by forensic evidence, a Western counter-terrorism official said intelligence agencies believed the postings were authentic, and that the militant had been killed within the last few days."
