Syrian Kurds say Islamic State spokesman killed in fresh raid
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleQAMISHLI, Syria — The Islamic State extremist group’s spokesman was killed today in northern Syria, a top Kurdish official says, hours after the jihadists’ leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi was announced dead.
The official with the Kurdish-led Syrian Democratic Forces — who asked not to be named because he is not authorized to speak on the issue — says IS spokesman Abu Hassan al-Muhajir had been killed, after SDF chief Mazloum Abdi said he had been “targeted” in a fresh raid.
“Al-Muhajir, the right-hand of Baghdadi and the spokesman for IS, was targeted in the village of Ain al-Baydah near Jarablus, in a coordinated operation between SDF intelligence and the US army,” Abdi writes on Twitter.
