So who was this mysterious alleged Abdul Jabbar?
"I have no knowledge of any such militant. No one with this name existed and I will say no one of British origin died in recent drone attack," a senior security official at Islamabad told AFP.
“We have no report of anyone with the name of Abdul Jabbar,”

This denial that Jabbar existed by Pakistani intelligence comes on the same day that senior Pakistani diplomats and European intelligence officials comes straight out with accusations that
The non-specific US warning, which despite its vagueness led Britain, France and other countries to raise their overseas terror alert levels, was an attempt to justify a recent escalation in US drone and helicopter attacks inside Pakistan that have "set the country on fire", said Wajid Shamsul Hasan, the high commissioner to Britain.
Hasan, a veteran diplomat who is close to Pakistan's president, suggested the Obama administration was playing politics with the terror threat before next month's mid-term congressional elections, in which the Republicans are expected to make big gains.

Looks to me like someone is telling pork pies and that Pakistan ain't happy it.
ps All mainstream media in the UK, BBC included, reported on Jabbar and the Islamic Army of Great Britain. Will they now retract those reports?
pps But "they" did Pearl Harbour, Oklahoma City and 9/11 so we shouldn't be surprised if something similar does indeed happen soon.
