Saddam Hussein’s former army officer Abdullah Qadarsh is new chief of Islamic State

[OneIndia] Donald Trump
...dictatorial for repealing some (but not all) of the diktats of his predecessor, misogynistic because he likes pretty girls, homophobic because he doesn't think gender bending should be mandatory, truly a man for all seasons......
gave the world probably one of the most awaited news. He declared that Islamic State
...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that they were al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're really very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more. They fling Allah around with every other sentence, but to hear western pols talk they're not really Moslems....
Chief Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi was dead in a US operation. He also said that Baghdadi had blown himself up during the raid.
The ISIS
 ...embracing their inner Islamic Brute...
had already set a succession plan. Baghdadi had declared a few months back that he would be succeeded by Abdullah Qadarsh. He had in fact tasked Qadarsh with re-building the ISIS, which had faced considerable losses over a period of time.
Qardash, who is around 40 years old is a former officer in the army led by Saddam Hussein. When he was tossed in the calaboose
Into the paddy wagon wit' yez!
in Basra by the US forces, he met with Baghdadi. Both were tossed in the calaboose in 2003 for their links with the al-Qaeda. It was after their release that the ISIS was formed.
 Qardash, also known as Professor was also close to Abu Alaa al-Afri,
| ...former physics professor and head of regional emirs for ISIS, he was briefly temporary head of the organization during Abu Bakr al-Baghdad’s recovery from being airstruck, but then an American missile reached out to touch al-Afri more permanently... |
who was a deputy to Baghdadi before he was killed in a gun raid in 2016. Experts describe Qardash as ruthless and he rose in the ranks of the ISIS due to his policy making. Baghdadi believes that Professor has the right qualities to lead and most importantly re-build the ISIS.
Qardash, who currently handles logistics in the ISIS is also popular among the ISIS fighters and other cadres. The biggest challenge for Qardash would be to unite the ISIS, which is currently split three ways.
There are differences between the leaders of Iraq, Tunisia and Saudi, but they have been able to hold on because of Baghdadi. Professor would have his task cut out to unite the three factions in the event of Baghdadi's death.
Qardash, who has been in charge of logistics would look for precise attacks. Unlike in the past when ISIS operatives carried out large attacks, this time around they would look for more specific attacks, with louder messages. The message from Baghdadi where he calls for coordinated attacks is also a signal that the style of functioning would change.
