US, UN add senior Iraqi ISIS member to terror list
2018-11-22
[Rudaw] The United Nations
...where theory meets practice and practice loses...
and United States added an Iraqi aide to ISIS leader His Supreme Immensity, Caliph of the Faithful and Galactic Overlord, Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi
...the head of ISIS, or what remains of it, and a veteran of the Abu Graib jailhouse. Looks like a new messiah to bajillions of Moslems, like just another dead-eyed mass murder to the rest of us. So far he has been killed at least four times, though not yet by a stake through the heart...
to their terror lists.

Hajji ’Abd al-Nasir, aged between 49 and 53, was born in Tal Afar, Iraq, according to the UN.

"Within the past five years, al-Nasir has served as an ISIS Military Amir in Syria as well as chair of the ISIS Delegated Committee, the council that reports to ISIS leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi and exercises administration control of the terrorist organization’s affairs," including planning military operations, the US State Department said on Tuesday.

The UN Security Council added Nasir to its sanctions list on Monday.

"ISIS is down but not out," said Ambassador Nathan Sales, the State Department’s counterterror coordinator.

"As ISIS continues to lose ground on the battlefield, we must starve it of the resources it uses to commit terrorism around the world. Today’s designation is another step towards ensuring the enduring defeat of ISIS."

Syrian Kurdish and Arabic forces of the SDF working with the US-led coalition are currently battling ISIS in their last major hold out in eastern Syria's Euphrates River valley.
