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. However, jihadists claimed on social media that Al-Nasr had been killed.
Other photos published by the terrorist organization show the alleged graves of Al-Nasr and two other militants who were killed in an airstrike.

Al-Nusra? Isn’t that one of Obama’s moderate jihadists?
How old do you have to be to get “senior” status in a terror group?
Who was air strike conducted by? Syria? Russia? USA ?
Sarah Palin’s favorite senator will be so disappointed.
Isis?
RT.com. It was the Russians. However, this is reported by Fars. It’s probably untrue.
A senior strategist? Not good enough.
How tough is it to slash and blowup everything you encounter?
Meanwhile we import a ticking time bomb in the name of humanity..
It was probably the No. 2 guy. It’s not good to be the No. 2 guy, they’ve got a big bull’s eye on the top of their hat.
From the article:
“The jihadists did not specify if he was killed in a Russian airstrike or in an attack carried out by the US-led coalition. Some militants claimed on social media, it was a ‘Crusader coalition’ that delivered the strike.”
I don’t know whether “Crusader coalition” refers to Russia or US.
Score this one for the Crusaders
Additional evidence is cited in the article:
“[J]jihadists claimed on social media that Al-Nasr had been killed.
Other photos published by the terrorist organization show the alleged graves of Al-Nasr and two other militants who were killed in an airstrike.
The death of Sanafi Al-Nasr, whose real name was Abdul Mohsen Abdallah Ibrahim Al-Charekh, was also confirmed by the Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, who claimed the jihadist leader was killed on Thursday.”
Washington is probably going to complain about Russia targeting an ally.
too bad they didn't have the M1 back then... 
Al Qaeda Takes a Lead in Syria, US Sends Money Without Any Accounting
by S. Noble • March 7, 2014
. . . .
Nasr is a bin Laden cousin and a trusted player in al Qaeda. His brothers are long-time terrorists and two were in GITMO. They were released by George Bush and later attempted to commit an act of terrorism against US interests in Saudi Arabia. They were arrested in that country and little has been heard of them since.
. . . .
SSG has allies in U.S. Sens. John McCain and Lindsey Graham on the Republican side, and Bob Casey, Robert Menendez, and Dianne Feinstein, who chairs the Senate Intelligence Committee, on the Democratic side and in the White House.
SSG is supposedly a conduit for a flow of information from the Supreme Military Council and the US government. They also lobby Congress for aid money.
The British Foreign Office has demanded that SSG repay thousands of pounds it was granted by the UK because the money was improperly spent. The US just sends money.
