Abu Mohammed al-Adnani, Islamic State's spokesman, leading propagandist, and alleged intelligence chief, has been killed in the Syrian city of Aleppo, reported the terror group's news agency Amaq.

One of the longest-serving Islamic State (IS, formerly ISIS / ISIL) figureheads, al-Adnani was reportedly killed "while surveying the operations to repel the military campaigns against Aleppo." The Syrian city is in the midst of a multiple-way battle between the Syrian government, assorted militants and Islamic State.

Al-Adnani, a Syrian citizen in his late 30s, had a $5 million US Department of State bounty on his head - the second biggest for any IS official after the movement's leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi.
