Update: Al Arabia does not mention Al-baghdadi but claims his top aid was killed.
Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS) leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi has lost his aide after a strike on the ISIS-held city of Mosul, in northern Iraq, the Iraqi defense ministry said Thursday.
Another ISIS figure was also declared dead, the ministry added.
Iraq and the United States have both been carrying out airstrikes against ISIS targets, after the militant group seized large parts of the country’s north and west.
