Top ISIS Commander and Spokesman Killed In Aleppo

Renowned spokesman for ISIS, Abu Mohammed Al-'Adnani, has been killed in the Aleppo Governorate, Al-'Amaq News Agency reports.

'Adnani was seen as a prestigious member and commander of the Islamic State and Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi in Syria.

Born in Binnish, Syria, 'Adnani served with Al-Qaeda during the Iraq War after years of following Abu Musab Al-Zarqawi, himself a commander for Al-Qaeda in Iraq.

'Adnani then swapped his allegiance to Islamic State.

His death follows the Turkish Special Forces' attempts to liberate Jarabulus, a border-city, in northeast Aleppo.
