A SUSPECT killed in a shootout with Pakistani agents last week was a senior al-Qaida operative from Syria who was behind militant attacks in Pakistan's tribal regions and against US forces in eastern Afghanistan, Pakistan's interior minister said yesterday.
Interior Minister Aftab Khan Sherpao identified the suspect as Marwan Hadid al-Suri (38). He died in a gun battle on Thursday after the agents, acting on a tip-off, stopped him at a roadblock at Khar, a town near the northwestern tribal region of Bajur.
