Syria: U.S. Drone Strike Kills Accused Khorasan Group Leader 
-------------------------------------------------------------


 
A U.S. drone strike in northwest Syria has killed a man the Pentagon
identifies as the highest-ranking leader of the Khorasan Group. The
Pentagon says Sanafi al-Nasr, a Saudi citizen, is the fifth top Khorasan
leader killed in recent months. He was suspected of funneling money and
fighters for al-Qaeda.
