It called him 'an organizational intermediarywho operate closely with the extremists linked to the so-called Islamic State throughout NorthAfrica and Middle East'. And it said his death degrades the IS's ability to integraded AfricanJihadis into its Mid-East fight. The US's deeply concerned about the spread of the IslamicState affiliates, especially in Libya. But so far it has restricted its military campaign to thegroup's heartland in Syria and Iraq."
