One of the FBI’s most wanted terrorists, who had a $5 million bounty on his head, was killed on Jan. 9 by a A U.S. missile strike in Pakistan, the Associated Press reported.
Attributing the information to three Pakistani intelligence officials, the AP reported that the strike killed Jamal Saeed Abdul Rahim, a suspect in a deadly 1986 Pan American plane hijacking.
“The death would be the latest victory for the CIA-led missile campaign against militant targets in Pakistan’s insurgent-riddled tribal belt bordering Afghanistan, a campaign that has recently escalated,” the AP reported.
The FBI website said: “Jamal Saeed Abdul Rahim was indicted in the District of Columbia for his alleged role in the September 5, 1986, hijacking of Pan American World Airways Flight 73 during a stop in Karachi, Pakistan. The attack resulted in the murder of 20 passengers and crew, including two American citizens, and the attempted murder of 379 passengers and crew, including 89 American citizens.”
The site listed his citizenship as “Palestinian and possibly Lebanese”.
