Ayad al-Jumaili, the man believed to be the deputy of ISIS leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, has been killed in an airstrike, Iraqi State TV said on Saturday, citing Iraq's military Intelligence.
Jumaili was killed with other ISIS commanders in a strike carried out by the Iraqi air force in the region of al-Qaim, near the border with Syria, the channel said, without giving the date of the raid.
The TV described Jumaili as ISIS’ “second-in-command” and “war Minister”.
The spokesman of the US-led anti-ISIS coalition couldn't immediately be reached for comments.
