The US forces have killed eleven members of the al-Qaeda terror network in Syria with two air raids. The Pentagon shared this in Washington.
Among the killed, Abu Hani al-Masri was also a high-ranking terrorist who had close contacts with the leadership of al-Qaeda and collaborated with Osama bin Laden and the current terrorist Aiman al-Sawahiri. The air strikes significantly reduced the impact of the terrorist organization, the Pentagon said.
Al-Masri had previously guarded the training camps in Afghanistan and thus "recruited, trained and trained thousands of terrorists". According to the Pentagon, he also helped to found the Egyptian Islamic Jihad, the "first Sunni group that committed suicide bombers during their attacks."
The US is fighting in Syria above all against the jihadist militia "Islamic State" (IS). However, last but not least, the US Army has also repeatedly attacked al-Qaeda. The province of Idlib is largely controlled by the former Syrian branch of the network, the Fateh al-Sham Front.
