ISIL Claims US Female Hostage Killed in Coalition Strike in Syria

ISIL claimed on Friday that a female American hostage had been killed in an air strike in Syria by the US-led coalition.

In a statement posted on ‘jihadist’ websites, ISIL said the woman was buried under rubble after a raid by a Jordanian warplane in Raqa, the self-proclaimed capital of the terrorist group.

“No fighter was wounded, but we can confirm that an American hostage was killed in the strikes.”

The statement did not show any pictures of a body and there was no independent confirmation of the claim.
