The Sunday attack, which occurred over the seaport city of Aden, took the life of Fahd al-Quso.

Officials in Yemen said he, along with another al-Qaeda operative, was hit by a guided missile.

Al-Qaeda confirmed the death of al-Quso in statements to the press.

Al-Quso had a US$5 million reward on his head.

He had been charged with involvement in bombing of the USS Cole on October 12, 2000.

The attack killed 17 US sailors.
