Islamic State's Second-in-Command Killed in Syria, Terror Group Says

Reports from Syria say the Islamic State group's second-ranking leader, who served as the extremist group's chief propagandist and also was linked to recruiting activities and attacks in Europe, has been killed in Aleppo province.

Islamic State announced Abu Muhammad al-Adnani's death Tuesday, saying only that he was killed "while surveying the operations to repel the military campaigns against Aleppo."

A U.S. senior defense official said coalition forces earlier Tuesday conducted an airstrike in al Bab, Syria, "targeting an ISIL [Islamic State] leader." He would not say whether the strike targeted or killed Adnani. He said U.S. officials are "still assessing the results of the operation."

Thank you @koopdog
