CNN) -- An al Qaeda operative wanted in connection with the 1998 U.S. Embassy bombings was killed in April in Pakistan, American officials have confirmed.

Pakistani officials had said that Muhsin Musa Matwalli Atwah was killed in North Waziristan during an airstrike by Pakistani forces near the border with Afghanistan.

DNA testing confirmed the Pakistani government's claim, U.S. officials said, and Atwah's name was removed from the FBI's list of Most Wanted Terrorists.

Atwah, 42, was born in Egypt. He was indicted in connection with al Qaeda's suicide bombings of U.S. embassies in Nairobi, Kenya, and Dar es Salaam, Tanzania. The attacks killed 224 people, including 12 Americans.

It's great that the guy is dead but why is a story from CNN allowed on this forum?

Looks like we only trust DNA samples, and not the word of the Paks.

Because it's the only site that was at least willing to suspend the bias for a couple minutes and print the story.

It's always satisfying when DNA tests are necessary to identify terrorist remains....

You and I have a rendezvous with destiny. We will preserve for our children this, the last best hope of man on earth, or we will sentence them to take the first step into a thousand years of darkness. If we fail, at least let our children and our children's children say of us we justified our brief moment here. We did all that could be done.

Yes, it does feel nice. And we're hoping for a few more where this last one came from. Go Pakistan.

Just like the Israeli's do it, there is no statute of limitations for these murderers.
