A top ISIS leader accused of killing an American officer was shot dead by US special forces in a midnight raid deep in the heart of government controlled-territory in Syria.
Local sources said that US troops landed in the village Muluk Saray in the countryside of the Qamishli region in northeast Syria, where territory is controlled in part by US-backed Kurdish fighters and partly by the Russia-backed government.
They told news channel Al Mayadeen that the victim was named Rakan Abu Hayel, originally from the village of Tuwaimin in the eastern countryside.
