A senior al-Qaeda leader was the target of a deadly US drone strike in Pakistan's North Waziristan on Monday, according to US and Pakistani sources.
US government sources said on Monday that they were unable to confirm whether Abu Yahya al-Libi had had been killed in the airstrike, but officials said he was regarded as a very senior aide to al-Qaeda leader Ayman al-Zawahiri
Al Jazeera's Imtiaz Tyab, reporting from Islamabad, said it would be difficult to immediately confirm Libi's death.
"North Waziristan is a very difficult place to get to, not so much for its terrain, but because of the fact that it's effectively on lockdown, and has been for many years now," our correspondent said.
A militant commander in North Waziristan closely associated
with foreign fighters however said that Libi is alive.
"He has not been killed. This is not the first time claims have been made about his death. The Americans are suffering heavy losses in Afghanistan so they have resorted to making false claims," he said.
US authorities had set a $1 million reward for information leading to the capture of Libi, who has filmed numerous propaganda videos urging attacks on US targets since escaping from a prison at Bagram Air Base in Afghanistan in 2005.
The Libyan was reported to have been killed in a drone strike in December of 2009, but the actual victim was Saleh al-Somali, who is believed to have been in charge of al-Qaeda's external operations.
According to reports from the region, which US government sources did not contest, US-operated drones launched three attacks in tribal areas along Pakistan's border with Afghanistan between on Saturday and Monday.
Reports from Pakistan said nearly 30 people were killed during the sequence of strikes, including four suspected fighters on Saturday, 10 suspected fighters on Sunday, and 15 people in the strike in which Libi was targeted.
