DERA ISMAIL KHAN, Pakistan—The leader of a Pakistani terrorist group whose suicide bombings killed more than 250 people died on Thursday of injuries from a U.S. drone strike in Afghanistan, a spokesman for the terrorist group said.
Omar Khalid Khorasani’s death comes ahead of U.S. Secretary of State Rex Tillerson’s visit and is likely to help ease tensions between the often-wary allies, as Islamabad has been asking Washington to target terorrists who attack inside Pakistan and hide over the border in Afghanistan.
