Foreign militant with suspected al-Qaida links killed in gunfight in Pakistan

A suspected foreign Islamic militant and a security official were killed in a gunfight at a roadblock in a remote northwestern tribal region near the Afghan border on Thursday, Pakistan's army spokesman said.

Two local intelligence agents said the slain militant was an Arab and had links with al-Qaida. One of the agents said authorities found a video camera, a laptop computer, hand grenades and some documents in the man's vehicle.

One of the agents said the man's body had been transported to a hospital in the northwestern city of Peshawar for a DNA test.

He did not identify the slain man, but claimed he was a Saudi national and had links with top al-Qaida leaders.
