Wanted Islamic State commander killed by U.S., Iraqi forces, officials say

In an operation last month, Iraqi forces and American troops killed a senior commander with the Islamic State group who was wanted by the United States, as well as several other prominent militants, U.S. Central Command and Iraq's military said on Friday.

The Aug. 29 operation in Iraq's western Anbar province also involved members of the Iraqi National Intelligence Service and Iraq's air force.

Among the more than a dozen militants killed in the operation was an ISIS commander from Tunisia, known as Abu Ali Al-Tunisi, for whom the U.S. Treasury Department had offered $5 million for information. Also killed was Ahmad Hamed Zwein, the Islamic State deputy commander in Iraq.
