KHAR, Pakistan (Reuters) - Pakistani security forces on Thursday shot dead a militant
named by officials as an al Qaeda member believed to have escaped a U.S. air strike
in January.

Officials, speaking on condition of anonymity, said the dead man was Abu Marwan,
a Saudi Arabian.

Military spokesman Major General Shaukat Sultan confirmed the shooting in the town
of Khar but said he had no details of the man's identity other than that he appeared
to be a foreigner.

"He was an explosives expert," a senior intelligence official in the North West Frontier
Province told Reuters.

"He was wanted by Americans."
