Syria: Qaeda-linked Group Denies it was Behind Killing of ISIS Leader
Syria’s main insurgent al-Qaeda-linked group denied it was behind the killing of ISIS group's leader in the country’s northwest saying it would have otherwise claimed responsibility. The security arm of Hayat Tahrir al-Sham, or HTS, made the announcement Friday night, a day after ISIS blamed the Syrian insurgent group for the death of its little-known leader, Abu al-Hussein al-Husseini al-Qurayshi, who headed the extremist organization since November.
