A senior Islamic State (IS) member has been killed and his wife captured in a raid in eastern Syria by US special forces. Abu Sayyaf, who helped direct oil, gas and financial operations for IS, as well as holding a military role, was killed when he engaged US forces, according to a Pentagon statement. The operation in al-Amr was authorised by President Barack Obama and was carried out by forces based in Iraq. The BBC's Rajini Vaidyanathan says Abu Sayyaf oversaw IS's "illicit oil and gas operations" - a key source of the group's funding.
