US warplanes have struck an Islamic State camp in Libya, killing as many as 40 people.
The airstrikes were targeting a senior Tunisian operative linked to two major attacks claimed by Islamic State, according to US officials.
One official, speaking on the condition of anonymity, said it is “likely” the militant was among the dead, although that is yet to be officially confirmed.
Col. Mark Cheadle, a spokesman for the Pentagon’s Africa Command, identified the operative as Noureddine Chouchane, who has been connected to Tunisia’s beach massacre and the Bardo Museum attack.
