Pentagon: U.S.-Led Strike Kills ISIS Official in Iraq

HeadlineMay 10, 2016

The Pentagon says an airstrike by the U.S.-led coalition has killed a senior ISIS official in Iraq. Officials said the strike on Friday killed Abu Wahib, identified as the chief military official of ISIS in Anbar province. It hit a vehicle carrying Wahib and three other people described by the U.S. as ISIS members. Pentagon spokesperson Peter Cook said, “It is dangerous to be an ISIL leader in Iraq and Syria these days, and for good reason.”
