A high-ranking Al Qaeda figure reportedly was killed Thursday in a U.S. drone aircraft attack in north Pakistan.
The attack, first reported by NBC News, was officially denied by Pakistani officials, though sources told Fox News that neither Usama bin Laden or Ayman al-Zawahiri were among those killed.
Pakistani media report six militants were killed in the attack, including four foreign fighters, a classification in the tribal areas that typically refers to Al Qaeda.
The attack was part of the expanded use of Predator drones recently authorized by the White House, sources told Fox News, though the drone attacks, which began during the Bush Administration, never have been officially confirmed because of political sensitivity in Pakistan.

Drones do good work.
We should fire Obama and just let the teleprompter run the country.

Was it the number 3 guy again? “Al Qaeda #3” has got to be the most dangerous job in the world. Not even Mike Rowe wants to mess with that one.

...though sources told Fox News that neither Usama bin Laden or Ayman al-Zawahiri were among those killed. So, not high-ranking enough.
