Drone strike kills militant linked to Charlie Hebdo attack: US
Pentagon says it killed Boubaker el Hakim, an IS militant linked to the attack on the French satirical magazine, in Syrian city of Raqqa
A US drone strike in Syria has killed an Islamic State militant linked to the 2015 attack on satirical weekly Charlie Hebdo in Paris, US defence officials said on Friday.
Boubaker el Hakim was killed late last month in Raqqa, the Islamic State's de facto capital in Syria, the officials said, adding he was believed to be involved with planning the attack in Paris.
Charlie Hebdo, known for its satirical covers ridiculing political and religious leaders, lost many of its top editorial staff when brothers Cherif and Said Kouachi, armed with assault rifles and other weapons, broke into an editorial meeting and killed 12 people and wounded 11 others.
