(CBS) A U.S. government official says a top al Qaeda operative has been killed in a drone attack in western Pakistan and local media says that the strike killed al Qaeda's number 3 in command, Abu Yahya al-Libi, CBS's Sami Yousafzai reports.

The U.S. is still not confirming the report, CBS News has learned.

Abu Yahya al-Libi is the spiritual successor to Palestinian philosopher Abu Azzam - and the inspiration for much of Bin Laden's beliefs, according to CBS News chief foreign affairs correspondent Lara Logan. He is very powerful and believed by some to be the natural successor to Bin Laden.

The reports of my demise are greatly exaggerated.

Here's hoping we get him in the next round.

Any pics of this other guy?

"And we had him once..."
I am sure since those early days Bagram AFB is tight as a drum. In any event. At least we hammered another of their goons down to the gates of Hell to receive his just rewards.
