'We've Killed World’s Most Wanted Terrorist': American Officials Believe Muhsin al-Fadhli Died In Airstrikes On Syria Where He Was Plotting Toothpaste Tube Bomb Attacks On US And Europe -- Daily Mail
* Fresh wave of airstrikes hit ISIS targets in north west Syria overnight, according to a conflict monitoring group
* Witnesses allege aircraft came from the direction of Turkey, but Turkey denies its airspace was used for attacks
* Meanwhile American forces carried out separate overnight attacks on ISIS in both eastern Syria and inside Iraq
* Blitz comes as jihadists claim leader of the Al Qaeda-linked Khorasan Group was killed in yesterday's air strikes
* Muhsin al-Fadhli was apparently nearing 'execution phase' of terror plot he had masterminded against the West
* Khorasan group has specialised in making sophisticated bombs for attacks against airports and passenger planes
Airstrikes in northern Syria killed the 'world's most wanted terrorist' before his band of Islamist militants were able to carry out deadly 'toothpaste tube bomb attacks' on the U.S. and Europe, American officials believe.
Muhsin al-Fadhl, 33, was identified as the leader of the Al Qaeda-affiliated Khorasan Group - a radical terror collective specializing in intercepting Western jihadists on their arrival in Syria, and training them to carry out deadly bomb attacks on targets in their home nations.
As well as an American and Arab coalition hitting targets relating to ISIS militants in Syria yesterday, the U.S. air force also independently struck Khorasan as intelligence suggested the group were nearing ‘the execution phase’ of a terror atrocity against a Western target that could have rivalled 9/11.
Details of the alleged death of al-Fadhl emerged this afternoon from a U.S. military official speaking on condition of anonymity.
