WASHINGTON: Iraqi air strikes killed a senior Islamic State group leader and three other militants, the US military announced on Friday, saying the strikes were enabled by intelligence from the international anti-jihadist coalition.
“Iraqi security forces (ISF) conducted precision airstrikes in northeastern Iraq on Oct. 14 that killed four members of the terrorist organisation ISIS, including a senior leader,” the US Central Command (CENTCOM) said in a statement on social media, using an acronym for the Islamic State group.
“The Iraqi-led strikes were conducted to disrupt and degrade ISIS attack networks in Iraq and were enabled by technical support and intelligence from coalition forces,” CENTCOM said.
