Local source in Diyala province said on Saturday that a top ISIS leader was killed in mysterious circumstances in the border area between Diyala and Salahuddin provinces.
The source expected that the leader was killed
due to the internal clashes that occurred due to the group's recent defeats.
Although Abadi announced full liberation of Iraqi lands and the end of war against ISIS in December 2017, Iraqi cities are witnessing acts of violence as terrorist group's sleeper cells continue to launch attacks targeting civilians and security forces.
