The US Central Command said US military has killed senior al-Qaeda leader Abdul Hamid al-Matar in a drone strike in Syria. "The removal of this al-Qaeda senior leader will disrupt the terrorist organization's ability to further plot and carry out global attacks threatening US citizens, our partners, and innocent civilians," US Army Major John Rigsbee said. The strike was in response to an attack on a US outpost in Syria 2 days ago.
