Abu-Abdallah al-Libi, a top commander of al-Qaeda front group The Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS), has been killed on Sunday in Idlib in northwestern Syria, Al Mayadeen television reported.

The Free Syrian Army denied responsibility for Libi’s death.

Disputes which had started last night resulted in armed clashes between the members of the FSA and the ISIL in Al-Hajaneh street and near Al-Ravi Mosque of the city of Deir Ezzur in Eastern Syria.

Reports in the early morning said that fighting still continued between the FSA and the ISIL militants.

This week the extremist group took control of the Syrian town of Aazaz, on the border with Turkey.

Hundreds of militants have been killed and injured so far during the clashes which erupted over the share of the militants from the equipment looted from an oil rig in Mazloum village in Deir Ezzur.
