(CNN)<\/strong> — The latest ISIS-appointed governor of Mosul was killed in coalition airstrikes on Thursday, according to Iraqi police.<\/p>\n

Hassan Saeed Al-Jabouri, also known as Abu Taluut, was killed 18 miles south of Mosul in the village of Qayyara, according to Maj. Gen. Watheq Al-Hamdani, a senior regional Iraqi police commander who is leading the government’s efforts to retake Mosul from ISIS.<\/p>\n

Jabouri is the second ISIS-appointed governor of Mosul killed by airstrikes and had been in office for less than 25 days.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, more than 100 people were injured or killed in six airstrikes by Syrian forces on the ISIS held city of al-Bab and the town of Qbasin in the northeast of Aleppo, according to the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights.<\/p>\n

In the village of Abo Qassayed, 30 ISIS militants were killed Tuesday as Syrian Kurdish forces captured that town held by ISIS, according to the observatory.<\/p>\n

ISIS captured a Jordanian fighter<\/a> pilot Wednesday after his plane crashed over Raqqa.<\/p>\n

“Evidence clearly indicates” that the terrorist group “did not down the aircraft,” U.S. Central Command said in a statement.<\/p>\n

Relations between Iraq and Turkey are improving because of the new government in Baghdad, Turkish Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu said Thursday.<\/p>\n

“Now that the coldness between Turkey and Iraq is over, we will accelerate our relations in every possible way,” he said in a televised interview.<\/p>\n

Iraqi Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi said that Iraq and Turkey share common economic and security goals, according to Anadolu Agency, Turkey’s government news agency. Iraq wants to reach global oil market’s through Turkey, Al-Abadi said.<\/p>\n

Turkey’s Prime Minister Ahmet Davutoglu promised that Turkey will not allow any foreign fighter access to Syria, whether they be Syrian opposition or ISIS fighters, according to Anadolu Agency.<\/p>\n
