Pentagon: 3 Top IS Leaders Killed in Syria

The Pentagon said Tuesday a coalition airstrike killed three key [so-called] Islamic State (IS) leaders in Syria, including two militants who were involved in last year's terrorist attacks in Paris.

"The three were working together to plot and facilitate attacks against Western targets at the time of the strike," said Pentagon spokesman Peter Cook

The three IS leaders were killed in a December 4 airstrike in Raqqa, IS's de facto capital in Syria, according to Cook.
