The finance chief of so-called Islamic State has been killed in air strikes by the US-led coalition, a US military spokesman has said.
Abu Salah and two other senior leaders were killed in the strikes which took place in “recent weeks”.
The coalition has been carrying out air strikes against IS militants in Iraq and Syria for over a year. One recently also killed an IS leader in Libya.
US military spokesman Col Steve Warren confirmed the deaths in a video call from the Iraqi capital, Baghdad.
He called Abu Salah “one of the most senior and experienced members” of the militant group’s financial network.
