After the US stepped up drone attacks in areas of Pakistan, it is believed that the No. 3 leader of Al Qaeda was killed along with many other foot soldiers. The No. 3 leader was known as Sheikh Sa’id al-Masri, Chief operating officer, and having a very close connection to Osama bin Laden. This attack on Al Qaeda by the US is viewed by some as a counter terrorism attack due to a recent failed Times Square car bomb and a previous failed Christmas Day bombing.
