BREAKING: Islamic State's top spokesman al-Adnani 'killed in Aleppo'

Al-Adnani was mostly known for his calls for lone-wolf attacks in the West
The chief spokesman for so-called Islamic State (IS) has been killed in Syria, IS-affiliated media say.

In a statement distributed by the group's supporters, Amaq News Agency reported that Abu Muhammad al-Adnani died in the city of Aleppo.

He was "martyred while surveying the operations to repel the military campaigns against Aleppo", it said.

Al-Adnani was mostly known for his calls for lone-wolf attacks in the West and his uncompromising rhetoric.
He is also said to have masterminded attacks in Europe.

He was last heard in an audio message in May urging Muslims to carry out attacks in the West.

Al-Adnani was one of the jihadist group's longest-serving and most senior officials.

It is not clear whether he was killed by ground forces or in an air strike.
