Former bin Laden lieutenant killed in Syria: monitor
2015-09-20
[AlAhram] A former lieutenant of the late Al-Qaeda chief, the late Osama bin Laden
... who is now neither a strong horse nor a weak horse, but a dead horse...
, has been killed in fighting with pro-government turbans in Syria, a monitor said Saturday.

"Abul Hassan al-Tunsi, an important leader of Al-Nusra Front, was killed in festivities Friday between Salafist tough guys and pro-government militia around the Shiite villages of Fuaa and Kafraya in Idlib province," said Syrian Observatory for Human Rights director Rami Abdel Rahman.

Tunsi, who was in his 60s, arrived in Syria in 2012, Abdel Rahman said.

He was one of bin Laden's "assistants and fought in Al-Qaeda's ranks in Afghanistan and Iraq."
