Monitors: Airstrike in Syria Kills Extremist Leaders Near Turkish Border

Syrian monitors say an airstrike near the Turkish border killed at least three extremist leaders late Sunday, including a commander of a militant faction made up of ethnic Uighurs from far western China.

The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, which monitors and reports on the country's long-running civil war, said eight people were killed in the attack in northern Idlib province, on a road leading from the town of Sarmada toward the border.

It was not immediately clear who launched the attack, but an observatory report said it was most likely carried out by the U.S.-led coalition battling Islamic State extremists in the region.

And hit an extremist group consisting of the Uighurs from China, which we just had some posts on. So, all kinds of people are over there fighting.
