Pentagon confirms airstrike targeting ‘Bin Laden-linked’ Nusra Front commander

The Pentagon has confirmed a US airstrike targeting senior Al-Nusra Front commander Abu Faraj al-Masri in Syria. Although the military says it is still assessing the results of the strike, the terror group has reportedly claimed the Al-Qaeda-linked cleric was killed.
The strike took place near the Syrian province of Idlib on Monday, Pentagon press secretary Peter Cook said in a statement, noting that it targeted “Egyptian national Abu al-Farai al-Masri, aka Ahmad Salamah Mabruk, one of Al-Qaeda in Syria’s most senior leaders and a legacy Al-Qaeda terrorist who previously had ties to Osama bin Laden.” (snip)
