CAIRO - Islamic State identified a new media spokesman for the group for the first time on Monday in an audio message released online.
The recording appeared on Al Furqan, a media organisation linked to Islamic State, giving the new spokesman's name as Abi al-Hassan al-Muhajer.
The United States confirmed in September that Islamic State's previous spokesman, Abu Mohammad al-Adnani, had been killed in a U.S. air strike on Aug. 30 in Syria.
