According to the US, a top ISIL (ISIS) leader was killed in Syria by US forces in a “unilateral strike.”
In a statement released early on Tuesday, US Central Command (CENTCOM) named the man as Khalid Aydd Ahmad al-Jabouri.
Al-Jabouri “developed the leadership structure” for ISIS and “was responsible for planning ISIS attacks into Europe,” according to CENTCOM.
His passing will “interrupt the organization’s ability to plan external attacks temporarily,” it continued.
Al-Jabouri was slain during a raid on Monday.
No civilians were slain or hurt in the raid, according to CENTCOM.
