Yemen's Supreme National Security Council said Thursday that Saudi national Said Al-Shihri had been killed in a November 2012 counter-terrorism operation in the country's Saada province. Though Al-Shahri's death was first reported on Tuesday, he was often the subject of assassination rumors, and his death went unconfirmed until Thursday.
After his 2007 release from the Guantanamo Bay prison camp he disappeared, later surfacing as a top official within Al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula, the faction the US calls the most active in the group's global operation.
