The Pentagon has confirmed that a US air strike killed Islamic State leader and spokesman Abu Mohamed al-Adnani in northern Syria last month.

"The strike near Al Bab, Syria, removes from the battlefield ISIL's chief propagandist, recruiter and architect of external terrorist operations," Pentagon press secretary Peter Cook said on Monday, using an acronym for the Islamic State group.

"It is one in a series of successful strikes against ISIL leaders, including those responsible for finances and military planning, that make it harder for the group to operate."

The 30 August air strike was conducted by a Predator drone, which fired a Hellfire missile at the car Adnani was traveling in.
