Ilyas Kashmiri was reportedly killed in a US drone attack in Waziristan on 7 September 2009, but survived and remains at large. He had reorganized 313 Brigade in North Waziristan (it was earlier active in Kashmir before 9/11) that was responsible for carrying out multiple terrorist attacks throughout the country. Earlier Kashmiri was arrested after the twin attacks on President General Pervez Musharraf in December 2003, but was later released in February 2004 at the insistence of United Jihad Council led by Sayeed Salahudeen.
