A key leader of Islamic State in Iraq’s Anbar province has been killed in a coalition air strike, the Pentagon says.
Abu Waheeb, formerly a member of al-Qaeda in Iraq, was killed in a raid on Friday, according to the Pentagon.
“It is dangerous to be an Isil leader in Iraq and Syria nowadays,” spokesman Peter Cook said, using an alternative name for the group.
