Intelligence officials said on Wednesday that four foreign militants killed in a suspected US missile strike in Pakistan included two top al-Qaida operatives.
One allegedly was in charge of the terror network's activities in Pakistani tribal regions.
Three intelligence officials identified the men as Abu Qasim, Abu Musa, Abu Hamza and Abu Haris. The officials spoke on condition of anonymity because of their jobs' sensitivity.
The Pakistani officials said that Abu Haris led al-Qaida efforts in the tribal areas, while Abu Hamza led activities in Peshawar, the main northwest city.
The suspected strike occurred Monday in North Waziristan, a tribal region the US fears has become a base for al-Qaida and the Taliban.
