Syria activists say founder of ISIS' Aamaq killed in airstrike
BEIRUT—The founder of the Islamic State group news agency was reportedly killed with his daughter in an airstrike last week in eastern Syria, Syrian activists said Thursday.
The militant group itself has not reported the death of the founder of Aamaq news agency, Baraa Kadek. Activists said Kadek was close to the ISIS leadership, gaining their trust and reportedly meeting with the enigmatic leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi.
His brother, Hozaifa, and former friends reported his death, saying he died in suspected airstrike by the US-led international coalition against ISIS that hit his home in Mayadeen town in Deir el-Zour province.
