Official: IS leader in Libya likely killed in US airstrike
An American airstrike has targeted and likely killed a top Islamic State leader in Libya, in a strike that happened just as the Paris terrorist attacks were under way, the Pentagon said Saturday.
Pentagon press secretary Peter Cook said the US strike targeted Abu Nabil, also known as Wissam Najm Abd Zayd al Zubaydi, an Iraqi national who was a longtime al-Qaida operative and later became the senior Islamic State leader in Libya.
