The US military says a senior leader of the jihadist group Islamic State (IS) who was responsible for planning attacks in Europe has been killed in a strike in Syria. Khalid Aydd Ahmad al-Jabouri died in an undisclosed location on Monday, according to US Central Command. No civilians were said to have been killed or injured in the attack. First responders said a man was killed in a drone strike on Monday in opposition-held north-western Syria. The White Helmets organisation tweeted that an unidentified drone fired a missile at the man on the outskirts of the town of Kili, in Idlib province. “Our teams responded and took the injured person to Bab Al-Hawa Hospital, where he died,” it added. Pro-opposition Step News cited local sources as identifying the man as Khalid Abdullah al-Khulaif and saying that he was likely to have been a senior jihadist from the eastern province of Deir al-Zour.(BBC)…[+]
