The United States has carried out another raid against Al-Qaeda terrorists in Syria, on the heels of a strike that killed the spokesman of the group's Syrian branch, the Pentagon said Wednesday, according to AFP.

"I can confirm that the US struck a vehicle killing several Al-Qaeda militants," said spokesman Matthew Allen. "The results of this strike are still being assessed."

The latest strike was carried out in northwestern Syria, according to a Defense department official who asked not to be named.
