The United States has said it has carried out a strike in Syria, killing a senior Islamic State (IS) leader it believes was planning terror attacks in Europe.
The target was Khalid Aydd Ahmed al-Jaburi, who died on Tuesday, according to a statement from US Central Command.
No civilians are said to have been killed in the attack.
So far there is no response from Syria.
The United States said al-Jaburi developed the leadership structure for IS and that his death would "temporarily disrupt the organization's ability to plot external attacks."
He said IS "continues to represent a threat" to the Middle East and other parts of the world.
However, no further details were given on which attacks he is believed to have carried out.
