U.S. forces and a local Syrian faction carried out a raid intended to capture an Islamic State official — but instead killed a man who had secretly been gathering intelligence on the extremist group, according to his family and Syrian officials who spoke with The Associated Press.
Relatives say Khaled al-Masoud had spent years spying on the Islamic State, first for insurgent leader al-Sharaa’s forces and later for al-Sharaa’s interim government, formed after the fall of former President Bashar Assad.
