Top al Qaeda strategist killed in Pakistan: Reports

Abu Yahya al-Libi, one of al Qaeda's top strategists and a prominent member of the terrorist outfit has been reportedly killed in a drone strike by America in northwest Pakistan. His death if confirmed would be the biggest blow to al Qaeda since US Special Forces killed Osama bin Laden in a secret raid in Pakistan in May 2011. US sources said Libi, a Libyan cleric with a degree in chemistry who has survived previous drone attacks, was a target of a strike early on Monday in the North Waziristan tribal region, home to some of the world's most notorious militant groups.
