Syrian Activists: Bomb Kills Local Al-Qaida Leader
[Ynet] A roadside kaboom has killed a local al-Qaeda leader and his wife, an attack that may ignite new infighting between rebel groups in Syria, Syrian activists said Tuesday.
Boy howdy, wouldn't that be a shame... | Ali al-Nuaimi of the Nusra Front, al-Qaeda's affiliate in Syria, and his wife were killed overnight near the town of Busra al-Sham in southern Daraa province, the Britannia-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said.
The Observatory said the killing was an "liquidation." It came just days after Nusra fighters seized a controversial Western-backed Syrian military commander, Ahmad al-Nuaimi. It's unclear if the two men are related.
