The US-led coalition said Monday its aircraft
carried out a strike in northwestern Syria, according to Arab News.
"This operation targeted AQ-S operatives
responsible for plotting external attacks threatening US citizens, our
partners, and innocent civilians," US Central Command said in a statement,
using an acronym for Al-Qaeda in Syria.
The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, a
Britain-based war monitor, said six commanders were among the slain extremists
from the Hurras Al-Deen group in Aleppo province.
The killed commanders included two Tunisians, two
Algerians, an Egyptian and a Syrian, the Observatory added.
