4 terror-group members believed killed in missile raid � no bodies recovered
Pakistani intelligence sources have identified three of four al-Qaeda members believed to have been killed by a US airstrike last week, though they have yet to recover the bodies.
One of the dead was said to be Abdul Rehman Al-Misri al Maghribi, a son-in-law of al-Qaeda second-in-command Ayman al-Zawahri.
Another was Midhat Mursi al Sayid Omer, 52, an expert in explosives and poisons who carried a $US5 million ($A6.7 million) reward on his head.
The third man named was Abu Obaidah al Misri, al-Qaeda's chief of operations in Afghanistan's eastern Kunar province.
Mursi was one of three known al-Qaeda leaders present at a meeting in the village of Damadola that was targeted in a missile attack late last Thursday or early Friday, ABC News said.
