An airstrike in eastern Syria carried out by the US-led military coalition assembled to fight the Islamic State (IS) has killed one of the group's senior figures, the Iraqi counterterrorism agency said today.
Mu'taz Numan 'Abd Nayif Najm al-Jaburi headed the terrorist group’s foreign operations, the Iraqi Counter Terrorism Service said in a statement. Jaburi, who used the nom de guerre Hajji Taysir, was known as the Islamic State’s governor of Iraq.
