ISIS leader in Syria killed in US strike, say officials

The leader of Islamic State in Syria has been killed in a U.S. military air strike, two U.S. officials told Reuters on Tuesday.

The officials, who spoke on condition of anonymity, declined to provide details. The killing would be another blow to the Islamist militant group's efforts to reorganize as a guerrilla force after losing large swaths of territory.

In February, the top leader of Islamic State blew himself up during a U.S. military raid in Syria.
