Blow to ISIS as group’s 'architect of terror' is wiped out in US drone strike
THE evil “chief propagandist” of sick terror group Islamic State has been wiped off the face of the earth by a US drone strike, the Pentagon has confirmed.
Abu Mohammed al-Adnani, Islamic State's chief spokesman, was confirmed dead in a drone strike
Abu Mohamed al-Adnani was a major cog in the group’s machine of death and destruction and acted as the chief spokesman for ISIS.
But the depraved jihadi was annihilated in a Predator drone strike on northern Syria on August 30 – but it has just been revealed.

A Pentagon spokesman said: “The strike near Al Bab, Syria, removes from the battlefield ISIS’s chief propagandist, recruiter and architect of external terrorist operations.
“It is one in a series of successful strikes against ISIL leaders, including those responsible for finances and military planning, that make it harder for the group to operate.”

Al-Adnani is believed to have played a key role in several horrific Daesh terror attacks.
He is linked to strikes on Paris in November, at the Brussels and Istanbul airports, at a cafe in Bangladesh, the downing of a Russian airliner in the Sinai Peninsular and suicide bombings at a rally in the Turkish capital, Ankara.
The Pentagon said the dead terrorist coordinated the movement of jihadis as well as the recruitment of brainwashed youngsters.
The strike is the latest in a string of high-profile hits on ISIS chiefs.
