Washington, Sept 17 (IBNS): A Sept. 7 coalition precision strike near Raqqah, Syria, targeted and killed "Dr. Wa'il," also known as Wa'il Adil Hasan Salman al-Fayad, one of the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant's most-senior leaders, Pentagon Press Secretary Peter Cook said in a statement issued on Friday.

The deceased terrorist had operated as the minister of information for the terror organization and was a prominent member of its Senior Shura Council -- ISIL's leadership group, Cook said.

Wa'il oversaw ISIL's production of terrorist propaganda videos showing torture and executions, the press secretary said.

"We will continue to work with our coalition partners to build momentum in the campaign to deal ISIL a lasting defeat,” the press secretary was quoted as saying in a statement.
