WASHINGTON, June 6 (UPI) -- Pakistan claims Washington has confirmed the death of senior al-Qaida leader Ilyas Kashmiri but the State Department said there's been no such confirmation.
U.S. State Department spokesman Mark Toner told reporters he didn't "have any confirmation of that" when asked about Pakistani Prime Minister Syed Yousuf Raza Gilani's reported statement: "The U.S. has confirmed that Ilyas Kashmiri was killed on Friday."
