         Kurds: IS Commander Killed in Attack By US, Pershmerga Forces

   by Sharon Behn

   U.S. Special Forces together with Kurdish peshmerga on Monday launched
   a helicopter attack against an Islamic State commander, killing him and
   two of his bodyguards, Kurdish national security sources said.

   Salman Abd Shaib al-Jabouri, also known as Abu Saif, was killed as he
   traveled near Hamam Ali, south of Mosul, the security sources said.

   Separate sources said coalition forces also struck a vehicle carrying
   IS fighters traveling on a northwestern highway out of Mosul.

   There was no immediate comment from the Pentagon on the attack.

   Ali Javanmardi contributed to the report.
