Abu Humam al-Shami, a general military commander and veteran of Islamist militant fighting in Afghanistan, Iraq and Syria, was the senior-most member of the group to die in the Syria war, an insurgent source said. Insurgent sources said a US-led coalition air strike hit the meeting in the north-western province of Idlib, but a coalition spokesman said it had not conducted air strikes in the province during the past 24 hours.
The sources said at least three other Nusra Front commanders were also killed in the blast, which they said hit the town of Salqin, near the border with Turkey.
