A senior Islamic State group leader has been killed by Iraqi security forces, Prime Minister Mohammed Shia al-Sudani announces.
Abdullah Makki Muslih al-Rufayi “was considered one of the most dangerous terrorists in Iraq and the world,” Sudani says on X. The jihadist, who was targeted by US sanctions in 2023, was IS’s so-called governor of the group’s Syrian and Iraqi provinces, according to the Iraqi premier.
