The Pentagon has revealed a US air strike in Afghanistan earlier in the week killed al Qaeda militant Qari Yasin, a well known figure in the Pakistani Taliban.

Along with plotting an attack which killed two military personnel, Yasin was believed to have been the mastermind behind a deadly attack on the Sri Lankan cricket team.

US Defence Secretary Jim Mattis said: “The death of Qari Yasin is evidence that terrorists who defame Islam and deliberately target innocent people will not escape justice.”

Yasin was believed to have been responsible for a 2008 bombing on a hotel in Islamabad, Pakistan, which killed dozens of people along with the two American service personnel.

But a coalition spokesperson has claimed while they try to avoid civilian deaths, the ISIS tactic of using people as “human shields” has made their work in the region more difficult.
