U.S. Kills Three ISIS Leaders in Iraq Strikes
Three leaders of ISIS have been
killed by American airstrikes in Iraq in the past month and a half, U.S.
defense officials said Thursday.
They were identified as
Haji Mutazz, a deputy to the ISIS leader; Abd al-Basit, the top military
commander; and Radwin Talib, who is in control of ISIS in Iraq. They
were described as mid- to high-level leaders.
One official called the
deaths of Mutazz and al-Basit in particular a "serious blow to ISIS
command and control." The official said that the setback may be
temporary because ISIS has plenty of willing replacements.
