A notorious al-Qaeda leader in Northwest Syria who had big plans to attack the West is dead.
The US military has just confirmed that an airstrike in Syria killed the high-level al-Qaeda commander known as Sanafi al-Nasr.
A statement from the U.S. Defense Department says coalition forces conducted the airstrike on Thursday over northwest Syria.
al-Nasr, the alleged leader of al-Qaeda’s operations in Syria, was one of six men that the U.N. Security Council imposed sanctions on last year.
The Pentagon says al-Nasr was “a longtime jihadist experienced in funneling money and fighters” for the terrorist network.
The U.S. says al-Nasr was a leading figure in the Khorasan group — a secretive cell of al-Qaeda operatives who U.S. officials say were sent from Pakistan to Syria to plot attacks against the West.
U.S. Defense Secretary Ash Carter says the military operation “deals a significant blow” to the Khorasan group’s plans to attack the U.S. and its allies.
A U.S. official who was not authorized to discuss the strike publicly and spoke on condition of anonymity said an American drone targeted and struck the militant.
Abdul Mohsen Abdallah Ibrahim al-Charekh, the Saudi better known as Sanafi al-Nasr, was killed in an airstrike near the northern Syrian town of Dana, along with another Saudi and a Moroccan member of al-Qaeda’s local affiliate, known as the Nusra Front.
Gee! I’m all teary eyed and sobbing!

GOOD…..GOOD…..GOOD! ONLY ABOUT 100 MILLION MORE TO GO!
That is my best friend’s cousin! Wow, he is not dead he just talk to him this morning. I can’t believe thier lies??
This article appears to be a propaganda farce. The CIA/MOSSAD organized straggling groups into a unified mercenary force called ISIS, which the US and Saudi sheiks have funded and supplied. If the USAF killed this insurgent with one of the strikes intended to damage the infrastructure of the country, it was an accident. The CIA/MOSSAD consistently knew where he could be found. Due to patriotic, American whistle-blowers, we know more about the ISIS-ISIL/Blackwater-type, mercenary force of the CIA/MOSSAD. http://www.dcclothesline.com/2015/05/04/special-ops-officer-blows-whistle-on-cia-funding-isis-through-swiss-bank-accounts/

I hope you enjoy hell, Sanafi. You are right where you belong. Hopefully the military will continue to send these Islamic terrorists to hell. Mohammad is there and takes great joy in see someone else he deceived arrived in the lake of fire.
