By Jason Ukman and Peter Finn
Al-Qaeda’s operations chief in Pakistan has been killed, according to U.S. officials, marking the latest in a series of losses for the terrorist network.

One official said Abu Hafs al-Shahri, a Saudi, was killed in Pakistan’s tribal areas earlier this week, less than a month after the killing of al-Qaeda’s no. 2 official. It was unclear how he was killed, but the CIA has been using armed drones to target militants in the region. WA Post
