Al-Qaeda's second-in-command, Atiyah Abd al-Rahman, has been killed in Pakistan, a senior Obama administration official said Saturday.

The Libyan national who was the network's former operational leader rose to the No. 2 spot after the U.S. killed Osama bin Laden during a raid on his Pakistan compound in May.
