A US special mission in northern Syria has ended in the death of Islamic State leader Abu Ibrahim al-Hashimi al-Qurayshi.
The operation targeted a safe house in the rebel held Idlib province.
Thirteen other people, including women and children, were also killed when al-Qurayshi detonated a bomb that killed him and members of his own family, rather than face capture.
