Moment al-Qaeda leader is killed

This is the heart-stopping moment a reported senior al-Qaeda leader was wiped out in a US air strike.

Drone footage captured the chilling moment monster Muhammed Yusuf Ziya Talay was killed in Syria.

Talay was a military leader in the al-Qaeda-affiliated terror group Hurras al-Din (HaD).

The monster was killed when a missile launched by US Central Command forces struck Northwest Syria on February 23, The Sun reported.

US authorities released the incredible drone footage that caught the terror bosses’ final moments.

Talay, a Turkish national, was wiped out while in a car.

The US agency said in an X post that the air strike was part of it’s commitment to “disrupt and degrade efforts by terrorists to plan, organise, and conduct attacks against civilians and military personnel”.

CENTCOM commander General Michael Erik Kurilla said: “As we have in the past, we will continue to relentlessly pursue these terrorists in order to defend our homeland, and US, allied, and partner personnel in the region and beyond.”

“Congratulations to CENTCOM Commander Gen. Michael Kurilla, and the US warfighters who dealt Justice to another Jihadi threatening America and our allies and partners.”

This has not been the only recent air strike the US has launched in Syria, to halt growing fears of terrorism in the area.

Another senior HaD official was wiped out in a US attack just two days before Talay.

Wasim Tahsin Bayraqdar, a senior leadership facilitator for the terror group, was killed.

Dozens of missiles were launched after barbaric dictator Bashar al-Assad’s regime was overthrown on December 8.

More than 75 “precision air strikes” were carried out on that day as fears over a power vacuum forming in the war-torn country had grown.
