Top Militant From Al-Qaeda Linked 'Khorasan Group' Killed in Syria, Pentagon Says

by Tim Stelloh

A top leader in the militant Islamic cell known as the the "Khorasan Group" was killed last week by U.S. Coalition forces in Syria, the Pentagon announced Sunday.

Sanafi al-Nasr was killed Thursday during a drone strike in the country's northwest, officials said.

The Khorasan group, which is composed of battle-tested al Qaeda fighters who relocated to Syria, has been described as posing a threat to the U.S. that is equal to that of ISIS.

Nasr was a Saudi national "experienced in funneling money and fighters" from "the Gulf region to Iraq and then to al-Qaeda leaders from Pakistan to Syria," said Pentagon spokesman Peter Cook.

He added that Nasr also "organized and maintained" travel routes for recruits from Pakistan to Syria.
