A US airstrike has killed the leader of the Islamic State group operating in Libya, the Pentagon has said.

On November 13, the US military conducted an airstrike in Libya against Abu Nabil, also known as Wissam Najm Abd Zayd al Zubaydi, an Iraqi national who was a longtime Al-Qaeda operative and the senior ISIS leader in Libya, Pentagon Press Secretary Peter Cook said. Cook said reporting suggests Nabil may also have been the spokesman in the February 2015 Coptic Christian execution video.
