BREAKING: John Conyers Jr., the longest serving African-American member of Congress in U.S. history, has died, a spokeswoman has confirmed. He was 90.
Known as the dean of the Congressional Black Caucus, which he helped found, Conyers became one of only 6 black House members when he was first elected in 1964.

Throughout his career, Conyers used his influence to push civil rights. nbcnews.com/news/obituarie…
A former staffer alleged she was fired because she rejected his sexual advances, and others said they'd witnessed Conyers inappropriately touching female staffers or requesting sexual favors. He denied the allegations but eventually stepped down.

#Breaking: Reports suggest that the leader of #ISIS, AbuBakr-Al #Baghdadi has been reportedly killed in a raid at a compound of Al-Qaeda jihadists in north #Idlib last night in #Syria. Lots of reports says he might have killed himself when being surrounded by #US special forces.
#Update: But i want to see proof of that with a DNA sample, because #US media has reported already 2 times in the past that the leader of #ISIS, AbuBakr-Al #Baghdadi was killed. But has resurfaced 2 times back again with a video posting he was alive in #Iraq and #Syria.
#Breaking: Just in - Military intelligence service of the #Pentagon has "confirmed" that leader of #ISIS Abu Bakr-Al #Baghdadi was killed last night in #Idlib in North of #Syria.

BREAKING - reports of a (US?) helicopter-borne raid on a convoy of Huras al-Din (#AlQaeda in #Syria) leaders traveling near Barisha in #Idlib.

Locals say as many as 6 choppers involved - gave chase to convoy, 2 landed & assaulted vehicles. Possibly took bodies or evidence away.
#pt: Barisha is ~3-4km from the #Turkey border. It's in long-time #AlQaeda territory, spanning between Al-Dana-Sarmada-Salqin.

As I recall, a helicopter-borne raid on AQ in NW #Syria has never happened - this would suggest a very high-level target.
#pt: In more recent years, the Turkistan Islamic Party (#TIP) has probably been the most significant authority in the Barisha region (stretching NE to Jisr al-Shughour).

Unverified reports have claimed 1 #TIP fatality, in what looks like a series of successive clashes. #Idlib
