US warplanes have killed more than 100 terrorists in an al-Qaida training camp in Syria. A Pentagon spokesman said <br/>that the camp in Idlib province has been active since 2013. The air strike was carried out by one B-52 bomber and an undisclosed number of US aerial drones. It happened at about noon Washington time on Thursday, less than 24 hours after a combination of B-2 stealth bombers and drones struck two military camps in a remote part of Libya, killing 80 to 90 Islamic State terrorists. <br/><br/>The militants killed in the Syria attack were described<br/>by one defense official as core al-Qaida members, among a<br/>number who had moved to Syria early last year to establish a<br/>foothold. The official distinguished these militants from members of the group formerly known as the Nusra Front, which is an al-Qaida affiliate in Syria.<br/>
