A senior Islamic state leader who was responsible for planning ISIS attacks into Europe has been killed in Syria by the United States.
Khalid 'Aydd Ahmad al-Jabouri died in a unilateral strike that did not kill or injure any civilians, US Central Command (CENTCOM) said in a statement on Monday.
He was a "senior ISIS leader" who was "responsible for planning ISIS attacks into Europe" as well as "developing the leadership structure" for the terrorist group, it added.
CENTCOM officials said his death will "temporarily disrupt the organisation's ability to plot external attacks". It did not reveal where in the country the attack took place.
The statement warned that "though degraded, the group remains able to conduct operations within the region with a desire to strike beyond the Middle East".
