New Delhi, Jun 5 (PTI) India has no confirmation that top al-Qaeda linked militant, Ilyas Kashmiri, a key planner behind the Mumbai terror attack, was killed in a targeted US drone strike in Pakistan.
Government sources said New Delhi has contacted several friendly countries asking about the authenticity of the reports which suggested that Kashmiri, a key conspirator in the 26/11 Mumbai attacks and wanted in India for his role in the terror acts, was killed.
"No one has confirmed his killing yet. Indian intelligence agencies also have not been able to corroborate the report," a source said.
Since Indian agencies are trying to verify the reports from different sources, a confirmation -- either way -- about Kashmiri's fate is expected within a day or two.
