[b]Washington (CNN) -- U.S. airstrikes have killed
two top-level and one mid-level ISIS leader, a
senior U.S. military official tells CNN.
Haji Mutazz was Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi's deputy
in Iraq; Abd al Basit was his military emir in Iraq;
and Radwan Talib was his Mosul emir. Their
deaths resulted from multiple strikes going back
to mid-November -- it has taken until now to
determine conclusively they were killed.
Obama says U.S. 'hammering' ISIS
"I can confirm that since mid-November, targeted
coalition airstrikes successfully killed multiple
senior and mid-level leaders within the Islamic
State of Iraq and the Levant," said Pentagon
press secretary Rear Adm. John Kirby, in a
statement on Thursday.
"We believe that the loss of these key leaders
degrades ISIL's ability to command and control
current operations against Iraqi Security Forces,
including Kurdish and other local forces in Iraq,"
he said.
News of the killings was first disclosed by Joint
Chiefs Chairman Martin Dempsey in an interview
with the Wall Street Journal.
Everything to know about the rise of ISIS
In addition, President Barack Obama signed
deployment orders yesterday for 1,300 troops to
Iraq. This is the lion's share of the 1,500
additional troops he authorized last month. By
February, the U.S. will have roughly 3,000 U.S.
troops on the ground.
The U.S. troops are also going further afield than
they previously were: There are now nearly 300
U.S. forces at Al Asad base in Anbar province, up
from just 50 earlier this month. The U.S. military
is following through on announced plans to
deploy these military advisers and trainers outside
of Baghdad and Erbil.[/b]
