Report: Leader of Khorasan group killed in Syria strikes.(Middleeasteye).
Leader of a little-known militant group in Syria, known as Khorasan, was killed in a US airstrike on Tuesday in Syria, militant sources confirmed on Wednesday.
Muhsin al-Fadhli, a Kuwaiti-born al-Qaida leader, was killed along with his wife and daughter in the raids that targeted several group sites in the northwestern province of Idlib, the sources, which have close links to al-Fadhli's family in Kuwait, told Anadolu Agency.
"It was obvious that Washington had set its eyes on al-Fadhli for some time now," one of the sources told AA, citing US media reports quoting officials that Khorasan could pose a more direct threat to the United States than the militant Islamic State in Syria.
Al-Fadhli's reported death could not be verified by an independent source.
No comment was issued by the Kuwaiti authorities or his family on the matter either.
