Prime Minister Mustafa Al-Kadhimi said that the Iraqi security forces have eliminated the “deputy caliph” of the Islamic State terrorist organization.
“Our heroic armed forces have eliminated IS commander Abu Yasser al-Issawi as part of an intelligence — led operation”, – the Iraqi Prime Minister wrote on Twitter.
Charles Lister, director of the Middle East Institute think tank in Washington, said that if the murder is confirmed, it will be important news, since ” al-Issawi led the entire operation of the ISIS* in Iraq”.
* – ISIS is a terrorist organization, banned in the territory of the Russian Federation.
