    Default US strike 'kills' key Pakistan militant Ilyas Kashmiri

    The BBC are reporting his confirmed death:
    ..a major psychological blow to al-Qaeda and the Taliban, and will also make it more difficult for wanted militant leaders to find safe places to go......He is widely believed to have masterminded an audacious attack on the Mehran naval airbase in Karachi last month...many would be led to believe the Pakistani intelligence operatives had a role in leading the Americans to Kashmiri..

    In tonight's BBC News the reporter stated Pakistan is claiming it's information led to the US drone strike.

    His BBC obituary:http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-south-asia-13655883

    This indicates a link to the Mumbai attack following the Chicago trial testimony.

    Seems that several national interests were served by this attack.
