Iraqi security forces ride in vehicles travelling to Mosul to fight against militants of Islamic State at an Iraqi army base in Camp Taji in Baghdad, February 21, 2016.
Jasim Khadijah, an Islamic State member believed to be responsible for a deadly attack by militants on U.S.
troops in northern Iraq, has been killed in a drone strike, a spokesman of the anti-IS coalition said in Baghdad on Sunday.
"He was a rocket expert, he was controlling these attacks," the spokesman, U.S. Army Colonel Steve Warren, told reporters, referring to the shelling last month of a base used by U.S. troops in northern Iraq in which a U.S. Marine was killed and several others were wounded.
It was the second death of a U.S. service member in combat since the United States first struck the militant group in 2014.
