Pakistani government is looking into reports that two UK nationals accused of extremist links were killed in a US drone strike in Pakistan’s tribal region at least three months ago, a US-based news agency reported, while quoting the Foreign Office in Islamabad.
The men were named as Ibrahim Adam, 24, and Mohammed Azmir, 37, by their family and friends, it said.
“We’re aware of reports and looking into them further,” a Foreign Office spokesman was quoted.
A government source said that getting confirmation would take time because the area is remote.
Adam, from Barkingside, east London, was wanted by British authorities after absconding from a government “control order” used to limit the movements of suspected extremists in May 2007.
Azmir, a father of three who lived in Ilford, Essex, was slapped with a treasury order in February 2010 freezing his assets over concerns that he was involved in funding terrorism.
