Fugitive Iraqi militant leader Izzat Ibrahim al-Douri who was called the "King of Clubs" in the famous pack of cards the US issued of wanted members of Saddam Hussein's regime has been killed.
According to BBC, Douri was right hand man to Iraq's ex-leader Hussein who officials said helped create the Naqshbandi Order insurgent group that led to the rise of the IS.
The officials said that he died in fighting in Salahuddin province, north of Baghdad. However, Douri's supporters deny the claim.
Douri was deputy to Saddam Hussein who was ousted in 2003 when US-led forces invaded Iraq in 2006.
