BEIRUT - Gunmen in Syria have shot and killed the commander of an ultraconservative rebel group in the central Homs province, activists and an official from the group said.
Abu Rateb al-Homsy was killed Tuesday, according to Labib al-Nahhas, a member of the Ahrar al-Sham group who mourned the passing of his comrade on Twitter.
The Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said al-Homsy was shot while in a car in the village of Farhaniyeh with his wife, who was wounded.
