Iran to sue Israel over attack on its diplomatic mission in Syria
Iran's Vice President for Legal Affairs Mohammad Dehqan has said that the country would file a lawsuit against Israel for its "deadly attack" on the Iranian consulate in Syria.
The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights war monitor said on Tuesday it had information from top Islamic State group leaders confirming the death of the jihadist organisation's chief Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi.
"Top tier commanders from IS who are present in Deir Ezzor province have confirmed the death of Abu Bakr al- Baghdadi, emir of the Islamic State group, to the Observatory," director Rami Abdel Rahman told AFP.
"We learned of it today but we do not know when he died or how."
