Peshawar: The Islamic Movement of Uzbekistan (IMU), a militant group operationg in border areas of Pakistan, on Sunday claimed that their leader Usman Adil has been killed in a drone attack in North Waziristan, an area bordering Pakistan-Afghanistan .
In a statement posted on jihadi websites, the IMU said that Usman Adil was killed in a drone strike on North Waziristan in April, which killed four people.
The militant group’s claim was also confirmed by Pakistan’s intelligence agency official.
