Syrian Kurds say Islamic State spokesman killed in fresh raid
2019-10-28
Last night we had an announcement of the kill, here are more details.
[IsraelTimes] QAMISHLI, Syria ‐ The Islamic State
...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that they were al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're really very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more. They fling Allah around with every other sentence, but to hear western pols talk they're not really Moslems....
murderous Moslem group’s front man 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 front man Abu Hassan al-Muhajir
...slightly more formally as Abu Al-Hassan Al-MuHajjir...
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 front man 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.
