WASHINGTON, Nov 30 (Reuters) - The Free Syrian Army carried out the operation that killed Islamic State leader Abu al-Hassan al-Hashemi al-Quraishi in Syria's Daraa province in mid-October, the U.S. military said in a statement on Wednesday.
"ISIS remains a threat to the region," U.S. Central Command said in a statement.
"CENTCOM and our partners remain focused on the enduring defeat of ISIS," it added.
