NextImg:US military says al-Qaeda leader may not have been killed in
‘Hellfire’ missile strike in Syria

The US military has reportedly walked back its claim that it had taken out a top al-Qaeda boss in a recent drone strike that was carried out in Syria. Officials quickly changed their story after it was discovered that the man who had been killed had no links to terrorism, and instead was tending to his sheep when the Hellfire missile was dropped, per the Daily Mail.

The family of the man who was killed, Lotfi Hassan Misto, stated that he was a former bricklayer who lived in the quiet town of Qorqanya. However, US Central Command, CENTCOM, released a statement after the missile was dropped, saying that they had carried out a strike “targeting a senior Al Qaeda leader.”
