The U.S. military has dropped its claim that a man killed by a U.S. drone strike in northwest Syria on May 3 was a “senior al-Qaeda leader.” In interviews with The Washington Post, family members denied 56-year-old Lotfi Hassan Misto had any ties to al-Qaeda, and said he was a former bricklayer and father of 10 who was tending his sheep when a U.S. missile killed him. So far, U.S. Central Command has refused to say who its target was.
