DUBAI -- A prominent member of al-Qaida was killed in fighting with U.S.-led forces in Afghanistan,

the group said in a statement posted on an Islamist Web site Sunday.

Abu Suleiman al-Otaibi, formerly one of the group's leaders in Iraq, was killed in a "fierce battle with the worshipers of the cross" in Paktia.

Another al-Qaida member, identified as Abu Dejana al-Qahtani, also died in the fighting, it added. The leader of al-Qaida in Afghanistan Mustafa Abu al-Yazid said Qahtani left Iraq about six months ago.
