A U.S. airstrike targeting an al-Qaida leader in northern Syria wounded a family of six, including a 10-year-old child who suffered serious head injuries

Ahmad Qassim had picked up his family from his in-laws in northwestern Syria where they had spent four days and was driving back home Friday morning when an explosion occurred, riddling their vehicle with shrapnel.

Syria's 10-year conflict has killed hundreds of thousands and left large parts of the country destroyed. The Friday morning attack occurred in Idlib province, the last major rebel stronghold in Syria and home to 3 million people, many of them internally displaced, like Qassim's family. Among those killed in Syria over the years were al-Qaida members who were close to the group's founder and leader.

The Observatory said the man who was killed had left the group nearly a year ago, adding that he was a Syrian citizen from the northwestern region of Jabal al-Zawiya in Idlib province. It was not clear whether he was still a fighter.

U.S. congressman posts family Christmas picture with guns, days after school shootingA U.S. congressman on Saturday posted a Christmas picture of himself and what appeared to be his family, smiling and posing with an assortment of guns, just days after four teenagers were killed in a shooting at a Michigan high school. Too funny. It's stupid. Wouldn't expect anything else In poor taste - but gun ownership and choosing their own Christmas card is entirely within their rights as American citizens. Maybe we all want to go the China way? Where we have no rights and decide nothing for ourselves? Up to us I guess. This is about as sick as it gets. So much for 'Peace on earth'.
