Iraqi forces kill ISIS terrorist leader known as ‘governor of Iraq’

2020-05-27

[ALMASDARNEWS] The Iraqi authorities announced on Tuesday, the killing of a high-ranking 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....
(ISIS/ISIS/IS/ISIS) during a recent military operation against the terrorist group.

The spokesperson for the commander in chief of the Iraqi Armed Forces, Brigadier Yahya Rasoul, confirmed in a statement, "the killing of Mu’taz Numan Abdul Nayef Najm al-Jubouri al-Makani (Hajji Tayseer)."

He said, "Al-Jubouri holds the position of the so-called governor of Iraq and the deputy leader of the ISIS terrorist organization for all state affairs and is responsible for planning and coordinating foreign terrorist operations."

For his part, the Anti-Terrorism Agency said in a press statement, "After the information provided by the agency that led to the killing of the criminal terrorist Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, to the efforts made by our heroes in following up and arresting the terrorist criminal Abdel Nasser Qirdash, we announce to our great people today the killing of the terrorist Moataz Numan Abdul Nayef Jabouri."

He added that "the operation came after a not-so-brief follow-up of the movements of this dangerous terrorist and his permanent movement inside and outside Iraq, where he was targeted by an air strike by the international coalition air forces in the Syrian area of Deir al-Zour, according to accurate intelligence information by the anti-terrorist agency, knowing that the caged criminal has more than one passport and IDs to move around."

Rudaw adds:

This is the third ISIS leader to be killed this month in Deir ez-Zor, home to ISIS’ last stronghold of Baghouz, which was liberated in March 2019.

On Friday the US-led coalition announced the death of two ISIS leaders in a coalition airstrike.

The strike killed Ahmad ‘Isa Ismail al-Zawi, otherwise known as Abu Ali al-Baghdadi, the terror group’s leader in North Baghdad, and Ahmad ‘Abd Muhammad Hasan al-Jughayfi, a senior supplies and logistics leader across Iraq and Syria.

"The removal of these ISIS leaders will disrupt future attacks against innocent civilians and our security partners and in the region," the coalition added.
