TEHRAN - Iranian Intelligence Minister Mahmoud Alavi confirmed on Monday that the Iranian security forces had killed a ringleader of Daesh terrorist group in a border city.

“The individual, named Abu Aisha al-Kurdi, was killed along with a number of other suicide bombers along the country’s border,” he said.

He added that the Daesh ringleader intended to enter Tehran.
