Leader of Ahrar al-Sham terrorist group killed in Syria
The leader of al-Qaeda-linked Ahrar al-Sham Takfiri terrorist group in Syria has been killed in a double-bombing attack in the country’s northwest.
Abu Abdel Rahman Salqin was killed after two unidentified bombers detonated their explosives at the terrorist group’s headquarters in the Abu Talha area of the northwestern Syrian city of Idlib on Tuesday, the Associated Press reported.
Six other high ranking members of the terrorist group were also killed in the deadly incident.
The so-called Syrian Observatory for Human Rights has described Rahman Salqin as “one of Ahrar al-Sham's most senior leaders”.
No group has yet claimed responsibility for the Thursday attack, but according to the UK-based monitoring group, the ISIL Takfiri militant group could be responsible for the bombings.
Ahrar al-Sham, one of the oldest and largest terrorist groups operating in Syria since 2011, is mostly active in the country's northwestern Idlib province.
Syria has been battling foreign-sponsored militants since March 2011. The violence fueled by Takfiri terrorist groups has so far left over 230,000 people dead.
