“A US airstrike today in northwest Syria killed senior al-Qaeda leader Abdul Hamid al-Matar,” said Central Command spokesman Army Major John Rigsbee in a statement. “The removal of this al-Qaeda senior leader will disrupt the terrorist organisation’s ability to further plot and carry out global attacks,” he said.

He had been responsible for “planning, funding, and approving trans-regional Al-Qaeda attacks,” according to Centcom.
