An Islamic State leader with direct links to the alleged Paris attacks mastermind has been killed in an air strike in Syria.
Charaffe al Mouadan was hit in a strike on Christmas Eve as he was plotting additional terror attacks on the West, a US military spokesman has confirmed.
Colonel Steve Warren said: "He was a Syrian-based ISIL member with a direct link to Abdelhamid Abaaoud, the Paris attacks cell leader." Abaaoud was killed in the police raid on a Paris flat five days after the attacks in the capital which left 130 people dead.
He added that Mouadan was "actively planning additional attacks against the West".
