The newly-appointed successor to Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, Abu Hassan al-Muhajir, who also served as the spokesman for the group, has reportedly been killed in North West Syria in a U.S. strike.
The Kurdish commander confirmed the strike in a tweet. General Mazloum Abdi wrote that al-Baghdadi’s assistant, Abu Hassan al-Muhajir, was targeted in a village named Ein al Baat near Jaraboul city. The mission was conducted via direct coordination of SDF intel [Kurdish] and the U.S. military.
The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, a monitoring group based in Britain, said al-Muhajir was killed while traveling in a convoy that included a fuel tanker and a car.
A spokesman for the Kurds, Mustafa Bali, told the Associated Press they believe al-Muhajir was in the region to assist al-Baghdadi.
