Death of their leader confirmed by ISIS

It's a formality, Reb.

Honor, honesty, integrity, all formalities, and not that important to our righty friends. After all, they own all the integrity they can buy on the free market. So, don't get persnickety about mere formalities. It's unbecoming.

Russia’s involvement in Syria has also hurt the group, which still provides potent reminders of its ability to carry out deadly attacks in Western cities.
