Al-Qaeda No 2 killed in US drone strike in Syria
Al-Qaeda's number two and son-in-law of Osama bin Laden, Abu al-Khayr al-Masri, has been killed by a US drone strike in northwest Syria, jihadi leaders have said. The missile reportedly hit the car in which al-Masri was travelling. Al-Masri, who had been a part of al-Qaeda for three decades, was a close aide of the jihadi organisation's chief Ayman al-Zawahiri.
