An Iraqi militant who was behind last month's attacks that killed more than 400 members of the minority Yazidi community has been killed, the US says.
Abu Mohammed al-Afri - who was responsible for "the planning and conducting of the horrific attack" against the Yazidis on 14 August - was killed in a coalition air strike 115km (70 miles) south-west of the northern city of Mosul, Rear Admiral Mark Fox told reporters.
