The Pentagon has confirmed that senior Al Qaeda leader Salim Abu-Ahmad was killed in a US drone strike in Syria, claiming no civilians were harmed after a bungled strike in Afghanistan killed 10 innocent people, including seven children.
The strike on Abu-Ahmad was carried out on September 20 in the Idlib province of Syria, where a vehicle traveling on a rural road in rebel-controlled territory was struck, but the identity of the target was not confirmed until Thursday.
