Death of Syrian rebel leader did not serve peace process, Saudi FM says
RIYADH (Reuters) - Saudi Foreign Minister Adel al-Jubeir said on Tuesday that the killing of prominent Syrian rebel leader Zahran Alloush, the commander of Jaysh al- Islam group, in a Russian air strike last week does not serve the peace process in Syria. "We believe that assassinating Zahran Alloush or fighting leaders that had supported a peaceful solution and fights Daesh (Islamic State) in Syria does not serve the peace process in Syria," Jubeir told journalists at a joint news conference with his Turkish counterpart during a visit to Riyadh. Alloush was killed in a Russian air strike last Friday. (Reporting by Omar Fahmy, writing by Sami Aboudi, editing by Larry King)
