US drone strike kills newly appointed information minister of ISIS

The US executed a drone strike on September 7th that took out the previous information minister. Abu Muhammed Furqan took over as the information minister for ISIS after the September 7th drone strike. This was a major breakthrough for US operations in the fight against ISIS because Furqan was one of the few within the leadership of ISIS that had direct communication with Abu Bakr Al Baghdadi, the leader of ISIS.  He was a close associate with the previous information minister and served on Senior Shura Council, which is the small inner circle that leads ISIS.
