A senior US official says an American airstrike has targeted and likely killed a top Islamic State leader in Libya.
The
official says the airstrike struck a command and control centre near
the eastern port city of Darnah and likely killed Abu Nabil and others
with him.
Officials are still assessing the results of the strike but called Nabil's death strongly probable.
The
official says the strike by an
F-15 fighter jet took place shortly
after the Paris terrorist attacks were under way, but had been planned
for some time. The aircraft were in the air when the attacks began in
France.
The official was not authorised to discuss the strike publicly and spoke anonymously.
