US strike in Syria kills a senior Islamic State leader

The US military launched a strike in Syria that killed senior Islamic State leader Khalid Aydd Ahmad al-Jabouri. This is reported by the Daily Mail.

The US Central Command said that the elimination of the terrorist “temporarily undermines the organization's ability to orchestrate attacks.” Al-Jabouri was in charge of planning attacks in Europe and devised deployment schemes for the group, the US Department of Defense said in a statement.
