Senior Daesh Commander Al Bara Shishani Detained in Ukraine
[SPUTNIKNEWS] According to the security service, the commander, who held the post of deputy military amir in ISIS since 2013, illegally arrived in Ukraine using a fake passport in 2018 and continued to coordinate the activities of ISIS forces.

The Ukrainian Security Service (SBU) on Friday announced the detention of Georgian citizen Al Bara Shishani, a key commander of the ISIS* terrorist organization, in the Kiev region.

"As a result of a joint special operation of the Security Service of Ukraine with the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Georgia and the US Central Intelligence Agency in the Kiev region, one of the key leaders of the ISIS terrorist organization was detained," the SBU press service said in a statement.

Georgia's State Security Service of Georgia has confirmed the detention near Kiev of Georgian national Al Bara Shishani.

"We confirm the fact of Shishani's detention," the press service of the Georgian State Security Service stated without providing any details.

In October, President Trump announced that the leader of the ISIS* terrorist group Abu Bakr Baghdadi had been killed during the US-raid in Idlib. The number one terrorist was reportedly under the Pentagon's surveillance for quite some time before the conditions were ripe to eliminate him.

Baghdadi went kaboom! along with two children when he was cornered by the US military in his hideout in northern Syria, according to US officials.

Baghdadi’s immediate likely successor, Abu Hassan al-Muhajir, was killed in a US Arclight airstrike
...KABOOM!...
 a day later.
Deutsche Welle adds:
Shishani, whose birth name was Cezar Tokhosashvili, joined IS in 2015. He became deputy to Abu Omar al-Shishahi,
... “the father of Omar the Chechen”...
known to the Pentagon as the IS "minister of war," who was killed in combat in 2016.
...more precisely, he was airstruck by the US-led Coalition in Syria.
Both men were born in the mountainous Pankisi region of Georgia home to most of Georgia's ethnic Chechens, known as Kists. Shishani is an Arabic transliteration of Chechen.

After Abu Omar al-Shishahi's death, Al Bara Shishani was said to have crossed into Turkey and crossed last year into Ukraine on a false passport. From there, he continued to coordinate the activities of Islamic State, the SBU said.

"Currently, the terrorist is under extradition arrest. His involvement in crimes committed on the territory of Ukraine is currently being verified," the SBU said, without verifying.
