A top Daesh terrorist reportedly responsible for media outreach was killed while working with Khalifa Haftar-affiliated forces in Libya. Mohamed Bin Ahmed al-Falata was killed by forces of the Libyan army operations.
Al-Falata, aliad Abu Assem al-Muhajer, was born in neighboring Sudan before his family moved to Saudi Arabia. He was previously arrested and imprisoned in Sudan for plotting attacks before he joined ISIS in Libya.
Libya has remained beset by turmoil since 2011 when a bloody NATO-backed uprising led to the ouster and death of long-serving President Muammar Gaddafi after more than four decades in power. The fresh wave of violence in Libya started in April 2019 after Haftar-led militias waged war on the Tripoli-based UN-recognized government.
