US Embassy bombings has been killed in Pakistan, the Foreign Office said on
Wednesday.

FBI's 'Most Wanted' Muhsin Musa Matwalli Atwah was killed in April in North
Waziristan during an airstrike by Pakistani forces near the border with
Afghanistan, according to the statement.

Atwah, 42, Egyption was indicted in connection with al Qaeda's suicide bombings
of US embassies in Nairobi, Kenya and Dar es Salaam, Tanzania. The attacks
killed 224 people, including 12 Americans.

The US administration had announced a reward of USD5 million for information
leading to his capture.

Atwah, who also went by the alias Abdel Rahman al-Muhajer, had been a member of
al Qaeda since 1990 and provided explosives training in Afghanistan, Pakistan

tribesmen who attacked US forces in that country.
