| [ALMANAR.LB] Seven hard boyz from Syria's Al-Qaeda-affiliated Al-Nusra Front terrorist group, including commanders, were killed in US-led air strikes Wednesday in the northwest of the conflict-riven country, a Britannia-based opposition monitoring group said. The US-led raids in Syria, which began last September, have allegedly focused on the so-called 'Islamic State ...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more. They fling Allaharound with every other sentence, but to hear the pols talk they're not reallyMoslems.... of Iraq and the Levant' (ISIL) takfiri ...an adherent of takfir wal hijra, an offshoot of Salafism that regards everybody who doesn't agree with them as apostates who most be killed... group, but Al-Nusra Front terrorist organization has also been the target of some strikes. "Seven Al-Nusra members, including commanders, were killed in at least five coalition air strikes against the group's bases and a vehicle in Idleb province," the director of the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, Rami Abdel Rahman, said. Most of Idleb province has been under the control of Al-Nusra and its terrorist allies. The United States is backing more moderate rebels in their fight against the Syrian regime. Like ISIL, Al-Nusra is blacklisted as a "terrorist organization" by Washington. |

| #1 Figuring the cost of Jet-A, ordinance, pilot pay, and ground support costs, I think that comes to about $87,518.36 per Al-Nusra guy whacked. Almost as cost effective as a dronezap. |
