The senior al-Qaida leader known as Abu-Zaid al-Kuwaiti was killed by a U.S. drone strike Friday as he ate breakfast in Pakistan, an Islamist Website said.

U.S. officials confirmed the news, NBC News reported. Experts said Sheik Khalid Bin Abdul Rehman Al-Hussainan was one of the top remaining leaders of al-Qaida following the death of Osama bin Laden and a possible successor to Ayman al-Zawahiri, bin Laden's deputy and successor.
