Abo Omar Saraqb, the Leader of Fatih AlSham, has died, according to reports on Twitter tonight.

Abo Omar Alshami has also died, it is claimed.

It is understood they were killed in a US airstrike in a rural location in Aleppo, western Syria.

Top military commander Saraqb was the leader of al-Nusra, recently rebranded as Jabhat Fateh al-Sham (JFS), a former al-Qaida offshoot in Syria.

Airstrikes targeted a JFS leadership gathering in Kafar Naha — most likely discussing military situation in Aleppo.

It comes days after ISIS propaganda boss Muhammad al-Adnani was killed in Syria.
