Airstrikes Kill 22 al-Qaida-Linked Terrorists in Syria

BEIRUT (AP) —

A monitoring group says an airstrike on an al-Qaida affiliated headquarters in northern Syria has killed at least 22 terrorists, including a senior al-Qaida-linked spokesman.

The Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights says jets thought to belong to the Syrian or Russian Air Forces targeted the headquarters of Jund al-Aqsa, a terror group that fights alongside the Nusra Front, al-Qaida’s affiliate in Syria, Sunday night.

A media outlet belonging to the Lebanese Hizbullah terror group says the strike killed the Nusra Front’s official spokesman, Radwan Namous, also known as Abu Firas al-Souri, and his son.

Hizbullah has sent thousands of its fighters to fight alongside Syrian government forces in the country’s five-year civil war.
