Syrian state TV says the head of the al-Qaeda linked al-Nusra Front, Abu Mohammed al-Jolani, has been killed in western Syria.
Details are unclear but the report said he had been killed in the coastal province of Latakia.
There has been no independent verification of the claim.
Al-Nusra has said it was behind many suicide bombings that have rocked Syria since the uprising began in March 2011. The US has blacklisted the group.
