A Briton suspected of plotting attacks on European cities modelled on the terrorist rampage in Mumbai was killed in a drone attack in Pakistan, according to reports.
A Pakistani intelligence official was quoted by the Associated Press news agency as saying that the man, who is believed to have been acting in concert with another Briton, was killed in a missile strike by a US unmanned aerial drone.
The official named the dead man as Abdul Jabbar who, he said, had come originally from Pakistan’s Jhelum district.
He said that the suspects, who also included eight German nationals, had been hiding in the tribal areas of the North Waziristan region.
