The commander was identified as Saleh Dirham Ramadi of Brigade 129 of the bully boy divisions that have been aiding the coalition on the ground since it began its war on Yemen in March 2015, the Yemen News website reported on Saturday.
The website also named the ISIS member as Saif San’ani, saying he used to act as the deputy of the terror group’s senior intelligence official in Yemen.
ISIS and its fellow Takfiri terror group of al-Qaeda have been trying to establish sweeping control over Ma’rib’s Province under widely-reported support from the coalition.
The coalition has been trying unsuccessfully to restore power to Yemen’s former Riyadh-allied officials.

The Yemeni forces that comprise the country’s army and Popular Committees have, however, never laid down their arms in their purpose to rid the country of the aggressors’ presence.
Last year, they liberated a strategic military base to the west of Ma’rib, a development that was followed by their overwhelming focus on the city and its surrounding province.
