ISLAMABAD, Pakistan - The operational commander of al-Qaida, possibly the No. 3 official in the terrorist organization, was killed early Thursday morning by a CIA missile attack on a safehouse in Pakistan, officials told NBC News. Pakistan's information minister later confirmed the militant leader's killing.

“Yes, I confirm that Abu Hamza Rabia, the Egyptian, has been killed,” Sheikh Rashid Ahmed told Reuters on Saturday.

Pakistani sources said that Rabia was one of five men killed at a safehouse located in the village of Asorai, in western Pakistan, near the town of Mirali.
