The Egyptian army announced Thursday it had killed a key ISIS-allied leader in the Sinai Peninsula.
Dead
is the head of the Ansar Bait al-Maqdis movement, identified as Abu
Duaa al-Ansari, and a number of his aides in airstrikes targeting the
ISIS affiliate's strongholds, the army statement said.
"They
managed to destroy a number of weapon and ammunition stores, and their
explosives," said the statement. "In addition they killed more than 45
terrorist insurgents and injured dozens of members."
The
army did not explain how it confirmed the death or provide any more
details about Ansari, for whom there is a dearth of information in
public news accounts.
