Islamic State finance chief 'killed in air strikes'

10 December 2015 Middle East

The finance chief of so-called Islamic State has been killed in air strikes by the US-led coalition, a US military spokesman has said.

Abu Salah and two other senior leaders were killed in the strikes which took place in "recent weeks".

No further details were immediately given.

The coalition has been carrying out air strikes against IS militants in Iraq and Syria for over a year. One recently also killed an IS leader in Libya.

US military spokesman Col Steve Warren confirmed the deaths in a video call from the Iraqi capital, Baghdad.

1. That's one they should have definitely captured alive.

If he were specifically targeted, they clearly don't want to obtain the Saudi and Gulf States donor's list. But, isn't obtaining that sort of information the very reason why we have the NSA and CIA?

BTW: The more common spelling is Abu Saleh - you'll come up with nothing except a refugee human interest story if you look under Salah
