AQ-S continues to present a threat to America and our allies,\u201d Maj. Beth Riordan, a spokesman for U.S. Central Command said in a statement to Fox News.<\/p>\n<p>Officials say the strike was carried out by the U.S. military\u2019s elite Joint Special Operations Command.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s the first drone strike by the U.S. military against Al Qaeda in Syria since mid-September.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Now get a load of this new toy DoD&#8217;s got;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>The U.S. military has been using a new missile to kill terrorists in the past year dubbed the \u201cflying Ginsu\u201d for the knives released by the specially modified Hellfire missile carried on MQ-9 Reaper drones. The missile does not carry a high explosive warhead greatly reducing collateral damage and killing innocent civilians. The GPS-guided \u201cGinsu\u201d missile falls from the sky with enough force to shred through car roofs and human flesh while terrorists are traveling by car. Anyone nearby has a greater chance to live due to the lack of explosive in the missile.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s not clear if this type of missile was used Thursday, officials say.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Source;\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/world\/us-drone-strike-kills-2-senior-al-qaeda-operatives-in-syria\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Fox News<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The KoB sends in the breaking news that two more ranking members of a terrorist organization &hellip; <a title=\"US drone strike kills 2 senior Al Qaeda operatives in Syria\" class=\"hm-read-more\" href=\"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/?p=106241\"><span class=\"screen-reader-text\">US drone strike kills 2 senior Al Qaeda operatives in Syria<\/span>Read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":664,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[474,83,218,9,406,455,223],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-106241","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-al-qaeda","category-breaking-news","category-feel-good-stories","category-foreign-policy","category-guest-link","category-gwot","category-syria"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/106241","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/664"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=106241"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/106241\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":106242,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/106241\/revisions\/106242"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=106241"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=106241"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=106241"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
