ISIS: Is it really a threat to the U.S.?
A day after news broke about McArthur - a coalition of Syrian opposition groups announced that its forces had killed another American in battle.
The coalition, known as Nahrawan in Syria, released a new video of a deadly battle between ISISÂ and a coalition of rebel groups. The rebel group claims video shows the battle and the very day McCain was killed.
CNN can't confirm that but we do believe McCain died during this ongoing battle between ISIS and other rebuts.
At the same time, ISIS released video of ISIS fighters firing an American M198 Howitzer cannon.
