Lavdrim muhaxheri biography of william hill
The U.S.-led coalition confirmed on Thursday that it killed a top chief of the Islamic State militant group (ISIS) who planned an attack on the Israeli soccer team.
The coalition said it killed Lavdrim Muhaxheri, the self-styled "commander of Albanians in Syria and Iraq," in an airstrike on June 7 near the eastern Syrian city of Mayadin.
"He was known as the most prominent and radical ethnic Albanian fighter in Syria and was directly responsible for inciting jihadist ideology within European communities and encouraging foreign fighters to travel to ISIS-controlled territory," a coalition statement said.
"He was also responsible for planning numerous terrorist attacks, including the failed plot to bomb the 2016 Israel-Albania soccer match in Albania."
The plot targeted Israel national team players and fans during a November 2016 World Cup qualifier against Albania.
