American and Syrian Kurdish forces killed the Islamic State terrorist group’s spokesman on Sunday morning, hours after the group’s leader blew himself up during a raid by U.S. special operations forces, a Kurdish official announced.
Abu Hassan al Muhajir died in an airstrike in Ain al Baydah, a village in northern Syria controlled by Turkish-backed Syrian rebels, while riding in the back of a tanker truck, the official claimed. Videos and pictures reportedly taken at the scene of the attack show corpses and a tanker truck on fire, but U.S. officials have yet to confirm Muhajir’s death.
