Jazairi was an explosives expert and "important terrorist trainer," the U.S. official said.
"When it comes to training, this individual was an important figure," the official said. "People like him are vital to terrorist plots. That doesn't mean he can't be replaced. But when Al Qaeda loses someone with his experience, it matters."

“He was a significant person within the Al Qaeda ranks,” said the senior European official, who requested anonymity because of the sensitivity of the topic. “Not in the top five, but he’s up there.

Good hunting and good hit!
I must not be paying close enough attention to the War on Radical Islam. I was not aware our guys were openly operating across the Pak border. Is this a new development?
The increasing success and pace of airstrikes this year indicates that American spy agencies and their allies have made progress in infiltrating Al Qaeda in Pakistan, said Louis Caprioli, a former anti-terrorism chief of France's DST intelligence agency.
"You have to have good intelligence on the ground to hit a target like that," Caprioli said. "It requires human as well as technical intelligence. I think the money that the Americans are spreading around is having an effect.
"Also, there are troops in Afghanistan, prisoners being interrogated. This is a long-term effort that is paying off."
