The U.S.-led coalition fighting Islamic State militants in Iraq and Syria has killed the group's finance minister and two other senior leaders in air strikes in recent weeks, a U.S. military spokesman said on Thursday, NBC News reported.
Army Colonel Steve Warren told a Pentagon briefing that coalition strikes had killed Abu Salah, ISIS' financial minister, as well as a senior leader responsible for coordinating the group's extortion activities and another leader who acted as an executive officer.
Warren said Salah was "one of the most senior and experienced members" of the group's financial network.
