U.S. Airstrike Kills Top ISIS Leader in Iraq
(New York Times) Jane Arraf - American airstrikes in a joint mission with Iraqi forces on Wednesday killed a top Islamic State leader in Iraq, Jabbar Salman Ali Farhan al-Issawi, 43, and 9 other ISIS fighters near Kirkuk, American and Iraqi officials said Friday.
