A State Department official on Monday confirmed the killing of Abu al-Hassan al-Muhajir, the spokesman of the Islamic State (ISIS) terrorist organization and a high-ranking figure within the group, Reuters reports.
On Sunday, the Syrian Kurdish YPG militia said al-Muhajir was killed in a joint raid between Kurdish-led and US forces in northern Syria, hours after the group’s leader, Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, was killed in a separate operation.
