U.S. Hunts Islamic State Leaders in Syria
(Washington Post) Greg Miller - The CIA and the Joint Special Operations Command (JSOC) are flying drones over Syria in a secret campaign to hunt "high-value" terrorists as part of a targeted killing program, U.S. officials said. The clandestine program represents a significant escalation of the CIA's involvement in the war in Syria. Syria is a new front in a spreading U.S. campaign of secret operations and drone strikes that encompasses Pakistan, Yemen, Somalia and parts of North Africa.
