US claims killing 11 Al-Qaeda militants in Syrian airstrike
Washington, Feb 9 (IBNS): The United States has claimed killing at least 11 Al-Qaeda militants in a recently concluded air raid in Syria, media reports said.
US Spokesman Captain Jeff Davis has said that at least 10 militants were killed in a single raid.
A second strike killed Abu Hani al-Masri, a close aide of deceased Al-Qaeda leader Osama Bin Laden.
"These strikes disrupt al-Qaeda's ability to plot and direct external attacks targeting the US and our interests worldwide," Davis was quoted as saying.
