A report from Libya confirms that an Islamic State commander, Abu Anas Al-Muhajer, was assassinated by a sniper within the city of Sirte. Al-Muhajer was of Sudanese origin. No group has claimed responsibility for the sniper shot, although it was clearly part of a well-planned and well-executed attack.

This type of assassination seems to be occurring more frequently against members of Daesh leadership.
