KABUL: Al-Qaeda has announced the death of a top aide to Osama bin Laden, Mustafa Abu al-Yazid, a US monitoring group said Tuesday, in what would be a major blow to the global terror network.
Yazid, an Egyptian national also known as Sheikh Said, was a founder member of Al-Qaeda and a former treasurer to bin Laden who became the network”s Afghanistan chief three years ago.
In Washington, a US official said there was “strong reason” to believe that Yazid — widely regarded as Al-Qaeda”s number three — was dead and that he was killed recently in Pakistan”s tribal areas.
“In terms of counterterrorism, this would be a big victory,” the official said.
“Al-Masri was the group”s chief operating officer, with a hand in everything from finances to operational planning,” the official said, using another name for Yazid.
“He was also the organisation”s prime conduit to bin Laden and Zawahiri,” he said referring to Al-Qaeda number two and fellow Egyptian Ayman al-Zawahiri. “He was key to Al-Qaeda”s command and control.”
The Al-Qaeda message carried by the SITE group, which monitors Islamist websites, did not give any details about the circumstances of the death of Yazid other than to speak of his “martyrdom”.
But it said the message from Al-Qaeda posted on jihadist forums on May 31 said his wife, three of his daughters, his granddaughter, and other men, women, and children, were killed.
“His death will only be a severe curse by his life upon the infidels. The response is near. That is sufficient,” according to the message translated by SITE.

Strom Claims 4 Lives in Argentina, The death toll from a storm that battered the western Argentine province of Mendoza has risen to four, authorities said.
The head of emergency services in Mendoza, Aldo Sarmiento, told reporters that the latest fatality was an 11-year-old boy who was killed when a rain-driven mudslide sent boulders crashing into the car in which he was traveling with his parents.
A 58-year-old woman and her granddaughter died Thursday when a rapidly swelling river burst its banks, and a man of 73 is missing and feared dead in the same locale. Officials in the city of San Rafael were forced to evacuate some 400 people amid heavy rain, hail and winds that reached 84 kph (52 mph).
The storm downed trees and power lines and destroyed wide swathes of vineyards on the outskirts of the city, which lies in a major wine-producing region.
