WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The United States is still assessing whether or not Mohsin al-Fadhli, a senior figure of the al Qaeda-linked Khorasan group, was killed in a U.S. air strike in Syria, government officials said on Wednesday.

One U.S. official, speaking on condition of anonymity, said earlier on Wednesday: "We believe he is dead." But other officials said the extent of the damage caused to the Khorasan group by Tuesday's airstrike was uncertain and they could not independently confirm the death of Fadhli or others.
