ISIS Spokesman Killed, Clinton Benghazi Emails Surface, Marco Rubio Wins Primary

ISIS spokesman Mohammad al-Adnani has been killed, according to a statement from the terror group and its Amaq news agency.

His death marks the highest-profile killing yet of an ISIS member. While Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi has been ISIS' unquestioned leader, al-Adnani may have been the terror group's most public figure, the person floated as ISIS' next leader should anything happen to al-Baghdadi.
The Amaq statement Tuesday said al-Adnani died while inspecting military operations in the area of Aleppo, Syria. ISIS has not revealed his cause of death.
"After a journey filled with sacrifice and fight against non-believers, the Syrian Gallant knight, Abu Mohammed al-Adnani, joined the convoy of martyr leaders," ISIS said.
"To the filthy and coward non-believers and to the holders of the Christ emblem, we bring the good news, which will keep them awake, that a new generation in the Islamic State ... that loves death more than life ... this generation will only grow steadfast on the path to Jihad, stay determined to seek revenge and be violent toward them."

Al-Adnani was well known for ordering operatives to attack countries participating in the US-led coalition against ISIS. In January, al-Adnani was reported injured in a coalition airstrike.
"Abu Mohammad al-Adnani is an absolutely key figure in this terrorist group. He's much more than just a spokesman -- one of their most senior figures, perhaps one could argue their most senior figure, certainly their most recognizable figure after Baghdadi," CNN Terrorism Analyst Paul Cruickshank said in January in response to the reports.
"In some ways he's a more dangerous figure than Abu Bakr al Baghdadi, because he's believed to be overseeing the external operations division of ISIS, and that's the part of ISIS which threatens the West, which carried out the attacks in Paris, which could one day carry out an attack in the US on a significant scale."
