Afghan security forces have killed Abu Muhsin al-Masri, a senior al Qaeda leader who was on the Federal Bureau of Investigation’s Most Wanted Terrorists list, Tanjug reports.
Afghanistan’s National Directorate of Security (NDS) published this news late on Saturday.
Al-Masri has been charged in the United States with having provided material support and resources to a foreign terrorist organization, and conspiracy to kill U.S. nationals, Reuters reports.
Al-Masri, believed to be al Qaeda’s second-in-command, was killed during a special operation in Ghazni province.
