Agencies Friday, 26 May 2017
Three senior ISIS military leaders and planners were killed in coalition attacks in Iraq and Syria over the past two months, the coalition fighting the militants said in a statement released by the Pentagon on Friday.
Mustafa Gunes, an ISIS operative from Turkey, was killed in an air strike in Mayadin, Syria, on April 27, the statement said. Abu Asim al-Jazeri, an Islamic State planner from Algeria, was killed in Mayadin on May 11, it said.
Abu Khattab al-Rawi, an ISIS military leader, was killed in al Qaim, Iraq, on May 18, the statement said. It said all three were foreign fighters but did not identify al-Rawi’s home country.
80 relatives of ISIS militants killed
Meanwhile, a US-led coalition air strike on the eastern Syrian town of Mayadeen early Friday killed at least 80 relatives of ISIS fighters, a monitoring group told AFP.
“The toll includes 33 children. They were families seeking refuge in the town’s municipal building,” said Rami Abdel Rahman, head of the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights.
“This is the highest toll for relatives of ISIS members in Syria,” Abdel Rahman told AFP.

I don't think I've seen many other stories where it mentions that relatives of ISIS militants were killed if one reads the story.
Remember the presidential debates or was it something Trump said on the campaign trail?
And today's and Monday's events, a sort of fighting fire with fire?
