WASHINGTON: Russia’s claim that it killed Islamic State group spokesman and top strategist Abu Mohamed al-Adnani is a ‘joke’ as the strike was conducted by a US Predator drone, American officials said on Wednesday.

“That’s a joke,” a US Defence official said when asked about Moscow’s Adnani claim, speaking on condition of anonymity to discuss military operations. “It would be funny if not for the character of the campaign the Russians have undertaken in Syria,” he said.

Another US official – again speaking on condition of anonymity – said the strike was carried out by a Predator drone that fired a Hellfire missile at a car in which Adnani was believed to have been traveling.

It is a nice move by our state department to discredit Russia for this action. We are masters of deception and lies. One may ask the question, if it was done by US, then why did we not claim it before Russia?...How come Russia got this info before US and claimed it as its own work?
Or is it Russians are getting the live video from our drones?
