(IraqiNews.com) Baghdad – A Saudi Arabian operative, who used to recruit children for ISIS in Iraq, has reportedly been killed in Mosul by unidentified gunmen.

Citing a local source in Nineveh, news portal ‘Almasalah’ reported the development on Monday. The source, seeking anonymity said that the dead Saudi ISIS operative was called Abu Wathbah al-Saudi.

“He was killed by unknown gunmen while he was leaving a shop in the city center,” reported Almasalah quoting the source.

It is very interesting to note here that most of the terror groups’ commanders these days are being targeted by unidentified armed men as Iraqi army has been entering the province.

The northern and western parts of Iraq have been plagued by gruesome violence ever since ISIS terrorists mounted a large-scale offensive in June 2014.
