The United States has killed a senior Islamic leader responsible for ISIS attacks in Europe.
Khalid ‘Aydd Ahmed al-Jabouri was killed in a unilateral strike that didn’t kill or injure civilians, US Central Command said Monday.
It said that he was a “senior ISIS leader” and was “responsible” for ISIS attacks in Europe.
CENTCOM officials stated that his death would “temporarily interrupt the organization’s ability to plan external attacks.” It didn’t say where the attack occurred.
The statement stated that, “though degraded,” the group was still able to operate in the region with the desire to strike outside the Middle East.

In 2014, the Islamic State established an independent ‘caliphate” in Syria and Iraq. It was defeated in 2017 by the US and its allies.
To ensure that the Islamic State does not gain momentum, the US has been targeting senior Islamic State officials.
Last month Hamza al-Homsi was killed in a helicopter attack. Abu Ibrahim al-Hashimi al-Qurayshi, founder Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, was also killed on February 2021.
