Surprise strikes on Khorasan Group Signal Expanded U S War Tactics
The United States launched over 20 Tomahawk missiles at eight Khorasan Group targets near Aleppo as part of a broader effort against core al Qaeda. Officials said the Khorasan cell, led by Muhsin al Fadhli, posed an imminent threat to the U S and Europe while Obama acknowledged remnants of al Qaeda remain potent. The strikes occurred alongside more than 200 airstrikes on Islamic State targets in Syria and Iraq. The operation marks a shift in strategy after years of covert action against al Qaeda.
