KABUL, Afghanistan, Nov. 22 -- A suspected al-Qaeda operative linked to a 2006 plot to blow up British airliners was killed Saturday in a suspected U.S. missile strike in northwestern Pakistan, according to two Pakistani intelligence officials. At least four other extremist fighters were also killed.

The officials said the al-Qaeda suspect was Rashid Rauf, a man who held dual Pakistani and British citizenship. The attack came from an unmanned U.S. Predator aircraft, which fired at least two Hellfire missiles at a suspected Taliban compound in the village of Ali Khel in the restive tribal area of North Waziristan, said the officials, who spoke on the condition of anonymity because they are not authorized to speak publicly about missile strikes.
