It has also been reported that Abu Hassan al-Muhajir, the right-hand man to Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi was killed in a joint operation of US and Kurdish fighters in Syria hours after the Islamic State terror leader blew himself up during a raid conducted by US special forces, a Kurdish commander said.
al-Muhajir, who also served as a spokesman for the terror group, was targeted near a village near Jarablus in northern Syria, said the commander of the Kurdish-led Syrian Democratic Forces, Gen. Mazloum Abdi, in a tweet.
The operation was conducted near midnight Saturday in Idlib province — an area that contains a stew of extremist organizations.

A spokesman for the Kurds, Mustafa Bali, told the AP they believe al-Muhajir was in the region to assist al-Baghdadi.

ISIS leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, killed himself on Saturday to avoid capture by US S special forces who raided his compound in northern Syria near midnight on Saturday.
His death over the weekend is seen as a huge blow against global terrorism, and a decisive blow to the once-potent extremist group that has now been routed all across the swaths of Iraq and Syria that it once controlled.
It’s also a victory for President Trump, who took office vowing to crush ISIS — and has, who tweeted that al-Baghdadi “died like a dog, he died like a coward,” Trump said Sunday morning.
US forces had had him under surveillance for weeks before the president gave the go-ahead for a mission to capture or kill. According to Trump Russia, Turkey, Syria and Iraq, as well as Kurdish forces, assisted with intelligence, search and cornering of the terrorist leader.
The raid also led to the capture of considerable intel that should help run down scattered remnants and assets of the terrorist group across Syria and Iraq.
