March 02, 2017 Al Qaeda's number two, Abou Kheir al-Masri, is dead.

Ayman al-Zawahiri's deputy al-Masri was killed in a US-led air strike in northwestern Syria.

To give the news, confirming the rumors of recent days, it was the same terrorist organization once led by Osama bin Laden.



And according to the official Syrian news agency Sana, the army would have regained control of the citadel of Palmyra, as part of the offensive against Isis.

The army units also recovered a hill in the west of the city, a Unesco world heritage site, and a hotel in the south, causing numerous losses among the jihadists according to Sana.

According to reports from the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, ISIS withdrew today from most of Palmyra and, before fleeing, placed mines and bombs in various parts of the city.

The army bombers, explains Sana, are sifting through the area to try to deactivate the explosives, while the military units advance slowly.
