Pentagon: U.S.-Led Strike Kills ISIS Official in Iraq
-----------------------------------------------------

The Pentagon says an airstrike by the U.S.-led coalition has killed a
senior ISIS official in Iraq. Officials said the strike on Friday killed
Abu Wahib, identified as the chief military official of ISIS in Anbar
province. It hit a vehicle carrying Wahib and three other people
described by the U.S. as ISIS members. Pentagon spokesperson Peter Cook
said, "It is dangerous to be an ISIL leader in Iraq and Syria these
days, and for good reason."
