Meet New ISIS chief Amir Mohammed Abdul Rahman al-Mawli al-Salbi.
The same report we had yesterday, but sometimes you just have to appreciate the in-lines.
[Daily Mail, where America gets its news] The new leader of Islamic State has been revealed as Iraqi Amir
[so he is just an Emir, not a Caliph]
Mohammed Abdul Rahman al-Mawli al-Salbi.

Two intelligence services said al-Salbi took over from Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi after the terrorist blew himself up in October.

Al-Salbi, who helped found ISIS, brought in brutal Sharia Law in Iraq and Syria, led the enslavement of the Yazidi and has operated across the world...

The Mosul-born leader is believed to be one of the most influential ideologues left in ISIS's depleted ranks and is one of the last non-Arabs
[an ethnic Turkman - this should please Erdogan].

Al-Salbi was born in Tal Afar, a city near Mosul, to Iraqi Turkmen and went on to study Sharia Law at the University of Mosul
[apparently he was not on the football team although there is a rumor that he assisted equipment management for the track team].

After a background as an Islamic scholar
[or as the WaPo would say 'an austere scholar'],
he rose the ranks in the terror organisation
[he had great annual reviews from supervisors],
and tried to justify an attempted genocide on the Yazidi people.
