ISLAMIC STATE SAYS TOP SPOKESMAN KILLED
Longtime Islamic State spokesman Abu Muhammed al-Adnani was killed in Aleppo, Syria, the Amaq News Agency, the media arm of the terror group, said Tuesday.
He was “martyred while surveying the operations to repel the military campaigns against Aleppo,” Amaq said in a statement.
Amaq vowed revenge against the “filthy cowards in the sect of disbelief.” It said a generation raised in Islamic State- held territory would seek revenge.
An airstrike by the U. S.- led coalition on Tuesday in Syria targeted Abu Muhammad Al- Adnani, ISIL’s chief spokesman and coordinator of attacks around the world, Pentagon Press Secretary Peter Cook said in a statement Tuesday night.
