Suspected U.S. drone kills Islamic State figure in Syria: monitor
[EN.ZAMANALWSL.NET] A drone strike as part of a U.S.-led campaign against Islamic State...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more. They fling Allaharound with every other sentence, but to hear the pols talk they're not reallyMoslems.... hard boyz killed a senior figure from the hardline group in its Syrian stronghold Raqqa city, Rooters reported on Wednesday. The strike killed an Uzbek leader of the group involved in security as he sat in a car outside a downtown hotel, the the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights monitoring group said. Islamic State has attracted imported muscle from across the world to fight in its self-declared caliphate across parts of Syria and Iraq. It has named Raqqa its defacto capital. The United States says it has intensified an aerial campaign against Islamic State in Syria with a wave of strikes in and around Raqqa city. U.S. Defense Secretary Ash Carter said on Monday heavy bombardment during the weekend that also included destroying bridges over waterways in the city, which is bordered to the south by the Euphrates river, aimed at further eroding the holy warriors' capabilities.
