The second-in-command of Daesh has been killed in a US air strike in northern Iraq, the White House said Friday.
The National Security Council identified the slain militant as Fadhil Ahmad Al Hayali, also known as Haji Mutaz, and said he was Daesh leader Abu Bakr Al Baghdadi's senior deputy.
US forces say they were able to kill him, along with a Daesh "media operative" known as Abu Abdullah, on August 18 in a strike on a vehicle near the city of Mosul.
The White House described Al Hayali as a member of Daesh's ruling council, and "a primary coordinator for moving large amounts of weapons, explosives, vehicles and people between Iraq and Syria.
"He supported Daesh operations in both countries and was in charge of Daesh operations in Iraq, where he was instrumental in planning operations over the past two years, including the Daesh offensive in Mosul in June 2014," it said.
Like many senior Iraqi militants, before joining the Daesh group, Al Hayali had been a member of Al Qaeda's Iraqi faction.
