    ISIS confirms death of key leader Omar al-Shishani
  • ISIS-linked news agency Amaq confirmed that Omar al-Shishani, a key Islamic State leader, was dead.

    It said Omar was killed during a combat in Shirqat, a town near Mosul, Iraq.

    Omar is regarded as the Islamic State's 'minister of war'.
