IS spokesman killed in Saudi-Yemeni raid in Hadhramaut

Abu Hudhayfah al Ansari, the Islamic State's official spokesman for three years, was reportedly killed in a joint Saudi-Yemeni special forces raid in Hadhramaut Governorate. The Islamic State has not confirmed the claim, so the death remains unverified. If confirmed, this would be a significant blow to IS's propaganda operations in the region.
