Senior Al-Qaeda leader killed in Syria airstrike

A senior leader from Al-Nusra Front, Al-Qaeda’s branch in Syria, has been reportedly killed alongside two other members of the terrorist group in the province of Aleppo.

Sanafi Al-Nasr, who was allegedly killed in an airstrike near the town of Dana, was Al-Qaeda’s senior strategist and an important power broker, the Iranian Fars news agency reports, citing jihadist sources close to the killed militant leader.

Al-Nusra released several photos showing a car hit by an air strike along with several bodies of the dead militants, although their identities were not verified.
