The Foreign Office was today investigating reports that a British man suspected of masterminding the 2006 airline bomb plot has been killed in a US missile attack in Pakistan.
Rashid Rauf, who is originally from Birmingham, was said to have been killed along with at least four other militants with links to al Qaida, according to reports on Pakistani television stations.
A Foreign Office spokesman was unable to confirm that a British national had been killed in the incident, which happened before dawn in the North Waziristan region of Pakistan.
'We are currently investigating this at the moment, but we do not have any information,' the spokesman said.
Reports in Pakistan suggested that Rauf - who escaped from custody outside an Islamabad court last December - was killed by an attack involving a pilot-less drone aircraft.
