Pentagon sure that it did kill Libyan IS leader

By Libya Herald reporters.

Nabil
IS leader in Libya, Abu Nabil Al-Anbari

Tripoli, 8 December 2015:

The Pentagon has said that it is now sure that it killed the Iraqi-born IS . . .[restrict]leader Abu Nabil Al-Anbari in air strikes in Derna early last month.

Nabil was the terrorist who featured in the IS video showing the decapitation of 21 Egyptian Copts and one Ghanaian Christian on a Sirte beach in February.  It now seems that he was one of ten terrorists killed on 13 November when F-15s struck at a compound in the Fataieh area to the south east of Derna, to which IS fighters had withdrawn after being forced out of the town in June.  At the same time US jets struck weapons and ammunition dumps in Waid Al-Khabtah and Wadi Bint.

Early reports from Washington said that it was “reasonably sure” that Nabil had been killed.   However, sources in Derna claimed that Nabil had not only not been killed but had not been at the Fataieh base when the warplanes struck.
