Islamic State leader in Iraq killed in airstrike — Pentagon

A US-led coalition airstrike has killed a senior Islamic State leader in Iraq’s Anbar province and three other jihadists, the Pentagon says.

“On May 6, a coalition air strike targeted Abu Wahib, ISIL’s military emir for Anbar province and a former member of Al-Qaeda in Iraq who has appeared in ISIL execution videos,” Pentagon press secretary Peter Cook says, using an acronym for the IS group.
