WASHINGTON ? American Special Operations forces entered eastern Syria on Friday and killed a senior leader of the Islamic State, according to the Defense Department. The leader, Abu Sayyaf, was involved in the group?s military operations and also helped manage black-market sales of oil and gas to raise money, according to a statement issued by the Pentagon early Saturday.
In the statement, Defense Secretary Ashton B. Carter said American commandos had entered Syria with a mission to capture Abu Sayyaf and his wife, Umm Sayyaf.
?Abu Sayyaf was killed during the course of the operation when he engaged U.S. forces,? Mr. Carter said.
No American forces were killed or injured in the mission, he said.
The statement said Umm Sayyaf, who was captured, was suspected of playing an important role in the group?s ?terrorist activities, and may have been complicit in what appears to have been the enslavement of a young Yazidi woman rescued last night.?
In a statement released from the White House on Saturday, Bernadette Meehan, the National Security Council spokeswoman, said Umm Sayyaf had been moved to an American military detention facility in Iraq.
?The operation also led to the freeing of a young Yazidi woman who appears to have been held as slave by the couple,? Ms. Meehan said. ?We intend to reunite her with her family as soon as feasible.? The Yazidis are a religious minority persecuted by the Islamic State.
