“U.S. Special Operations forces carried out a major raid deep inside eastern Syria, killing a senior Islamic State leader who oversees illicit oil production and capturing his wife, Secretary of Defense Ashton Carter said Saturday. Carter said Abu Sayyaf, also known as Mohammed Shalabi, ‘was killed during the course of the operation when he engaged U.S. forces.’ He said none of the U.S. forces was killed or injured during the raid. Abu Sayyaf was involved in the extremist group’s military operations and helped direct its illicit oil, gas and financial operations, Carter said in a statement.”
