U.S. defense official: Coalition airstrike killed Islamic State military commander
http://www.centralmaine.com/2016/12/28/u-s-defense-official-coalition-airstrike-killed-islamic-state-military-commander/WASHINGTON — A senior U.S. defense official is confirming that a top Islamic State military commander was killed by a coalition airstrike in Syria on Monday.
The official says that Abu Jandal al-Kuwaiti was killed near Tabqa Dam. He was a key leader of the group in Raqqa. No other details were available.
The Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said earlier this week that he had been targeted by U.S.-led coalition aircraft. And Islamic State supporters on social media had indicated on Tuesday that he had been killed.
The U.S. confirmation was the first official coalition acknowledgment of his death.
