The Dawn newspaper quoted a Pakistani security
official as saying that Yazid was most probably killed in a
missile strike in North Waziristan on the night of May 21.
"We had a report at the time that one Arab was killed
in that strike with some of his family members and I think it
was probably him," the unnamed official said.
The attack targeted a house owned by a tribesman some
25 km west of Miramshah, the main town in North Waziristan, a
stronghold of al-Qaeda and Taliban militants that borders
Afghanistan.
Intelligence officials at the time said six militants
were killed but residents said 12 people, including four women
and two children, were killed. Six women and two children were
wounded and treated at a hospital in Miramshah, residents
said.
"He was known as Mustafa in the area. His wife was
killed in the strike," a resident of the village where attack
took place said on condition of anonymity. PTI
