Pentagon confirms top ISIS commander with $5m bounty is dead |
2016-03-16 |
[Rudaw] Omar al-Shishani, a top commander of the Islamic State ...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more. They fling Allaharound with every other sentence, but to hear the pols talk they're not reallyMoslems.... (ISIS) with a $5 million US bounty on his head, has died of injuries sustained in coalition "We believe he subsequently died of his injuries," Navy Captain Jeff Davis, a Pentagon front man, told AFP news agency. Last week a US official announced that Shishani, who was referred to as ISIS’ "war minister" was believed dead in a US air strike in the Syrian town of Shaddadi. Shishani’s real name was Tarkhan Tayumurazovich Batirashvili and he was also known as "Omar the Chechen." He was a top commander who was posted by ISIS to Kobani during a months-long siege of the Kurdish city in northern Syria that was liberated last January by rebel groups that included the Kurdish People’s Protection Units (YPG). Shishani, a Georgian national, was among the most wanted ISIS leaders. |

#3 That's still $2.5 million they don't have. Financially, budget-balanced-wise, that is. |
