A senior al-Qaeda militant, accused of planning to bomb trains in New York and London, has been killed in Pakistan, the country’s military says.<\/p>\n
Adnan el Shukrijumah was killed in a raid in north-western Pakistan, near the Afghan border, the military said.<\/p>\n
The FBI describes him as al-Qaeda’s global operations chief, a post once held by the alleged mastermind of the 9\/11 attacks, Khalid Sheikh Mohammed.<\/p>\n
Shukrijumah was born in Saudi Arabia and lived for several years in the US.<\/p>\n
He was named in a US federal indictment as a conspirator in the case against three men accused of plotting suicide bomb attacks on New York’s subway system in 2009.<\/p>\n
He is also suspected of having played a role in plotting al-Qaeda attacks in Panama, Norway and the UK.<\/p>\n
