ISIS top commander purportedly killed during U.S airstrike in Libya

Shortly after the terror attack began in Paris, one of the ISIS commanders in Libya was purportedly killed in a U.S airstrike.

The operation to kill Iraqi national Abu Nabil in the eastern port city of Darnah was conceived before terrorists went on a rampage in the French capital, Pentagon press secretary Peter Cook said.

Nabil was a long term al-Qaeda fighter and could have been the man who threatened the West in the ISIS propaganda video in which 21 Coptic Christians were executed on a Libyan beach, Mr Cook added.
