Most dangerous leader of ISIS killed in Diyala

BAGHDAD, June 28 (YPA) – The leading official in the Iraqi popular mobilization, Ahmed al-Azzawi, on Sunday confirmed the killing of one of the most dangerous leaders in the “ISIS” organization in Mardan village near Khanaqin district, northern Iraq.

“A joint Iraqi security force carried out a successful operation against ISIS operatives near Mardan, on the outskirts of Khanaqin district, northeast of Diyala,” al-Azzawi said, but he did not reveal the name of the dead ISIS leader.

This operation comes after hours of an attack by ISIS militants on an Iraqi security post in Diyala Governorate, which killed four Iraqi policemen and wounded two others.

The Iraqi security forces and the popular mobilization forces in Diyala killed many ISIS leaders in operations that took place in separate areas of the governorate during the past months.
