More evidence that the US can strike terrorists without a massive troop presence in the ME. Motorcyle meat drone.
Probably used one of those neat new missiles that more cuts through the target than explode all over the place.
US strike kills jihadist leader in Syria
A US drone strike in northwestern Syria killed a Yemeni leader of a local jihadist group affiliated to Al-Qaeda, the US military and a Syrian war monitor said.
The strike, carried out on Monday just before midnight (2100 GMT) on the eastern edge of the city of Idlib, took out a man described as a leader of the Hurras al-Deen group.
"Abu Hamzah al Yemeni was travelling alone on a motorcycle at the time of the strike," US Central Command said in a statement, adding that an "initial review indicates no civilian casualties".
