Via The Blaze:
A Pentagon official confirmed reports that a senior al-Qaida commander was killed in a military airstrike in Syria.
On Sunday morning Peter Cook, the Pentagon’s press secretary, confirmed the death of Sanafi al-Nasr, whose full name is Abdul Mohsen Abdallah Ibrahim al-Charekh. Cook said al-Nasr was killed on Oct. 15 in an airstrike led by “coalition forces” in northwest Syria.
According to Cook, al-Nasr was the highest ranking leader of a group of veteran al-Qaeda operatives, the “Khorasan Group,” and a longtime jihadist. He reportedly was experienced in funneling not only money but also fighters for al-Qaeda.
