The Kurdish Counter-Terrorism Department and the US-led coalition cooperate since August 2014 to remove ISIS leadership from the battlefield in both Syria and Iraq. They started to carry out joint operations in 2015. The Kurds have provided intelligence to the US-led coalition which led to targeted airstrikes taking out local senior ISIS leaders such as Mullah Shwan in September 2015 near Hawija and Falah al-Kurdi in October 2015. ISIS Chief of Media Khalid Hamza Al-Maamouri was killed on coalition strike in Syria on 16 April. |
