Ali Al Shahiri, suspected member of the so-called Islamic State (IS) who allegedly brainwashed Mumbra youth Tabrez Tambe to join the terror group, is believed to have been killed in Libya, said sources in the ATS. However, the agency has made no official confirmation on the development.

The Saudi national was recently booked along with the Mumbra resident by the state ATS under UAPA following information by the Tambe family that their son has joined IS in Libya. Ali, who became Tambe’s friend after they worked together in Saudi Arabia, had allegedly indoctrinated Tambe.
