A building and two armed vehicles belonging to the al-Qaeda breakaway group were destroyed near the Syrian town of Kobani, the U.S. Central Command said yesterday. At least three militants were killed, according to the U.K.-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, which monitors developments in the country’s civil war.
