The November 30 explosion killed "five miscreants, including three foreigners," one of which was Rabia, Pakistani Interior Minister Aftab Ahmad Khan Sherpao told CNN. Two others were injured in the blast.
Sheikh Rashid Ahmed, Pakistani information minister, told CNN Rabia was in charge of international operations for al Qaeda.
"We were tracking him from last month," Ahmed said. "He was a big fish in al Qaeda."
