There have been conflicting reports about whether the deputy leader of Islamic State
has been killed in an airstrike on a mosque in Iraq. The Iraqi Defence Ministry said x
was killed while meeting with x IS members near the northern city of x. But the U.S.
military has denied bombing a mosque, and says it cannot confirm reports of x's
death. Here's our Arab affairs editor, x. The Iraqi Defence Ministry has posted a video
showing a devastating strike on a building. It says it's the bombing that killed x, but

it's unclear if x was even there. If he is dead, and it is a big if for now, it would be a
blow for IS. x had been contended for leadership for the group in 2010, and he is

A series of private letters written by Prince Charles to British government ministers a

biography of the Prince. I think that people who like Prince Charles like Prince Charles
because he does this stuff. And people who don't like him don't like him because he
does this stuff. So in a sense, where we are is that we have more flesh on the bones
of what this stuff is, but is not something that I think is massively going to shift public
opinion.
