| Post subject: | British al Qaida members 'killed' |
The Foreign Office is investigating reports that two white British al Qaida members have been killed in a drone attack in Pakistan. The Muslim converts are said to have died in a Hellfire missile strike by a remote-controlled US aircraft near the town of Datta Khel five days ago. The militants, aged 48 and 25 and using the pseudonyms Abu Bakr and Mansoor Ahmed, were apparently in a vehicle in the mountainous region with two other fighters at the time. A Foreign Office spokeswoman said: "We are aware of media reports of the death of two British nationals in Pakistan. "Our High Commission in Pakistan is seeking further information on these reports."
