IS finance chief confirmed killed in air strike
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleThe Islamic State group’s finance chief is confirmed killed in a coalition air strike last month, US officials say.
Abu Saleh was killed in late November, US military spokesman Colonel Steve Warren says in a videoconference from Baghdad, calling him “one of the most senior and experienced members” of the group’s financial network.
The US government’s envoy for the anti-IS fight, Brett McGurk, says on Twitter that Abu Saleh was killed along with two associates “as part of coalition campaign to destroy ISIL’s financial infrastructure,” describing him as the group’s “finance minister.”
