#7 Abd al-Muhsin al-Libi
al-Qaeda’s former second-in-command, Libi was killed in a U.S. drone missile strike on Hesokhel, a small village in North Waziristan near the Afghan border. North Waziristan has long been a stronghold for al-Qaeda, the Taliban, the Haqqani network and other militant groups.
Libi’s death was a big win for U.S. counterterrorism operations in Pakistan, which had their milestone with the killing of Osama bin Laden in early 2011.
