Islamic State on Thursday confirmed the death of its leader Abu Hussein al-Husseini al-Qurashi, and named Abu Hafs al-Hashimi al-Quraishi as his replacement.
Turkey's President Tayyip Erdogan said in April that Turkish intelligence forces had killed the militant group's leader, al-Qurashi, in Syria.
