(WASHINGTON) — The Pentagon says that a U.S.-led coalition airstrike killed two senior ISIS commanders last Saturday in northern Iraq, including a fighter considered to be the group’s deputy minister of war. Pentagon press secretary Peter Cook says the strike killed Basim Muhammad Ahmad Sultan al-Bajari and a lower level commander, Hatim Talib al-Hamduni. Cook says Al-Bajari was a former member of al-Qaeda who oversaw ISIS’s fight in June 2014 to capture the northern city of Mosul and worked to consolidate the group’s control over the city.
