US airstrikes killed al-Qaeda operatives in Syria
2017-01-20
[Iran Press TV] The US military says its Arclight airstrikes have killed two senior al-Qaeda operatives in Syria in two separate incidents.

The Pentagon said in a statement on Thursday, "Mohammad Habib Boussadoun al-Tunisi, an al-Qaeda external operations leader, was killed by a US precision Arclight airstrike Jan. 17 near Idlib, Syria."

"The dear departed terrorist, a Tunisian, was involved in holy warrior facilitation and external operations and has been connected to terrorist plots to attack Western targets," Pentagon front man Peter Cook said.

In a separate statement, Cook said American forces killed al-Qaeda controller Abd al-Jalil al-Moslemi in a precision Arclight airstrike near Saraqib in northwestern Syria on January 12.

The statement said the terrorist was trained by Talibs in the late 1990s in Afghanistan. "He had extensive and long-standing ties to numerous al-Qaeda external operations planners and terrorists."

According to Cook, both men were Tunisian.
