Turkish President Erdogan Claims ISIS Leader Killed in Syria

The United States has not confirmed Turkey's claim that its forces killed the current leader of the Islamic State (IS) terror group in northern Syria. Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan made the claim on Sunday, but a US official said Washington has seen nothing to suggest the IS leader has indeed been killed. Little is known about Abu al-Hussein al-Husseini al-Qurashi beyond his kunya, or nom-du-guerre, and he is among the first of a new generation of leaders now charting the terror group’s course.
