WASHINGTON — A senior Islamic State (IS) figure responsible for planning attacks in Turkey and Europe was killed in a US drone strike in Syria, the US military said on Tuesday.
The US Central Command (CENTCOM) said the death of Khalid ‘Aydd Ahmad al-Jabouri would temporarily disrupt the group’s ability to plot external attacks. No civilians were killed or injured in the unilateral strike on Monday, CENTCOM said in a news release.
