US draws up a list of five most wanted terrorists to be hit
Post slaying of Osama bin Laden, the US has drawn up a list of five terrorists, including al-Qaeda’s second-in-command Ayman al Zawahiri , Mullah Omar and Illyas Kashmiri , on whom it expects Pakistan to provide intelligence immediately and possibly target them in joint operations, according to US officials.
The list was discussed during three meetings between Pakistani and US officials in the past two weeks, including Secretary of State Hillary Clinton’s talks with Pakistani leaders in Islamabad yesterday, ABC News quoted the US official as saying.
The list also includes commander Sirajuddin Haqqani , the operating chief of Haqqani network and Atiya Abdel Rahman , the Libyan operations chief of Al Qaeda, who had emerged as a key intermediary between bin Laden and Qaeda’s affiliate networks across the world.
