The leader of ISIS has been killed in an air strike, according to reports from Syrian state TV.
The world’s most wanted terrorist, Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, is said to have been killed on Saturday, though the reports are yet to be verified.
This isn’t the first time that the extremist leader has been reported dead, so the news has been met with scepticism. The terrorist organisation’s media arm Amaq has not yet confirmed the reports.
It is claimed that the leader of ISIS was killed during a heavy artillery raid on Raqqa, the Islamic State-occupied city in Syria, reports the Mirror.
The leader, who is known for his extremist sermons that have inspired terrorist attacks throughout Europe has a £20million bounty on his head.
At least seven civilians were reported to have been killed in Saturday’s air strikes, according to independent Syrian news platform Raqqa24, but as yet there is no mention of the ISIS leader.
