Al Qaeda confirmed on Tuesday that one of the group's most senior figures, veteran militant Abu Yahya al-Libi, had died in a U.S. drone strike earlier this year. The U.S. government said in June it had killed Libi in Pakistan, dealing the biggest in a series of blows to the group since the raid that killed Osama bin Laden last year.

In what US officials described as major blow to Al Qaeda, the group's second-ranking leader, a militant known as Abu Yahya al-Libi, was killed in a strike by a missile fired from a US-operated drone, an official confirmed on Tuesday.

The United States is highly confident that the Al Qaeda's Number two Abu Yahya al-Libi was killed in a CIA drone strike in Pakistan, in what an official described on Tuesday as a "major blow" to the group's leadership.

If his death is confirmed it would be the biggest blow to Al Qaeda since US special forces killed Osama bin Laden in a secret raid in Pakistan in May 2011.The CIA's drone campaign in Pakistan, stepped up under the administration of President Barack Obama, has made the South Asian nation a perilous place for Al Qaeda.
