U.S. Central Command announced that it carried out a strike in Syria that killed a senior attack planner affiliated with al-Qaeda.
In a statement posted on the “X” platform, CENTCOM said its forces conducted a precision strike in Syria on October 2, resulting in the death of Muhammad Abdulwahab al-Ahmad, described as a senior attack planner and member of Ansar al-Islam, a terrorist group linked to al-Qaeda.
CENTCOM stressed that the operation was part of ongoing efforts to target terrorist leaders and disrupt their ability to plan and execute attacks, noting that al-Ahmad posed a direct threat to regional security and U.S. interests.
