RAQQA , Syria, Sept. 28 (UPI) -- The leader of an extremist militant group in Syria known as Khorasan was confirmed dead Sunday on an al-Qaida-affiliated Twitter account,cheap jordan shoes,cheap jordans, following widespread speculation of his demise throughout the week, SITE monitoring group reports.


Muhsin al-Fadhli was a senior figure in al-Qaida's leadership and was connected to planning and financing against U.S. forces in Iraq and perpetrating operations against Americans in Afghanistan and Russians in Chechnya. Most recently the Kuwaiti-born al-Fadhli was recognized as the leader of Khorasan, a little-known militant group from Pakistan and Afghanistan which, like the Nusra Front, represents al-Qaida's arm inside Syria.


On Sept. 23, the U.S. and Arab allies began air strikes against both Islamic State and Khorasan targets inside Syria, prompting the first reports that al-Fadhli may have been killed in the bombings. A U.S. official said the matter was under investigation.


According to SITE, a Sept. 27 Twitter post by a jihadist who trained under a close affiliate of current al-Qaida leader, Ayman al-Zawahri, provided condolences about al-Fadhli's demise.


Thirty-three-year-old al-Fadhli, also known by aliases Muhsin Fadhil 'Ayyid al-Fadhli, Muhsin Fadil Ayid Ashur al-Fadhli, Abu Majid Samiyah, Abu Samia, Dawud al Asadi, is said by the National Counterterrorism Center to have had prior knowledge of the attacks on September 11,cheap real jordans,cheap jordan shoes n d... en el momento. &quot, 2001.
