DAMASCUS, June 14 (Xinhua) -- Syria's local TV stations cited news outlets close to the Islamic State (IS) group as declaring the death of the terror group's leader, Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi.
The pro-government Sama TV and al-Ekhbariya cited what they called news outlets affiliated with the IS as saying that al-Baghdadi was killed, without elaboration.
