The Pentagon said on Friday that a US-led coalition air strike on Sept. 7 killed an ISIS leader who oversaw the militant group's propaganda.
Pentagon Spokesperson Peter Cook said in a statement that the air strike took place near Raqqa, Syria, and targeted and killed Wa'il Adil Hasan Salman al-Fayad, also known as Dr. Wa'il.
ISIS controls parts of Iraq and Syria and has broadcast its beheadings of journalists and aid workers over the past few years. The group has sympathizers in several countries who have carried out bombings and shootings of civilians.
