| [ENGLISH.ALARABIYA.NET] Security officials in the Kurdistan region recently announced the death of Ali Aswad al-Zubai Abu Mujahid, the head of intelligence office in ISIS. More importantly, he was described as the one responsible for the safety of the group’s leader, His Supreme Immensity, Caliph of the Faithful and Galactic Overlord, Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi ...formerly merely the head of ISIL and a veteran of the Bagram jailhouse. Looks like a new messiah to bajillions of Moslems, like just another dead-eyed mass murder to the rest of us... According to intelligence information gathered so far, al-Aswad was targeted by an Born in 1978 in Khan Dhari in Iraq, al-Aswad was known to be an bad boy affiliated to hard-line organizations that were affected by the return of Afghan Iraqis. He is said to have been close to al-Baghdadi since 2003 and was responsible for his movements and security. Expert on terrorist groups, Hisham al-Hashimi, says terror leaders who returned from Afghanistan included Mohammed Hussein al-Jubouri who is currently the leader of Ansar al-Sunna, deceased Mohammed al-Falastini, who was the leader of Jund al-Aqsa in Syria, Abdel-Hamid Abu Azzam who runs al-Qaeda’s recruitment network in Europe and Mohammed Saleh, the ISIS secretary in Baghdad. According to al-Hashimi, these were the leaders who inspired Ali al-Aswad al-Zubai, who was incarcerated in the Bucca prison from 2005 to 2008. Notably, all the reports explaining the hierarchy of the organization do not put al-Aswad in the top ranks of the leadership. People who have been described as close to the ISIS leader al-Baghdadi include Alaa al-Afri, Abu Ali Anbari, Abu Omar al-Chichani, Abu Mohammed al-Adnani, and Abu Sulaiman Nasser. These reports also suggest that al-Aswad was Baghdadi’s intelligence agent and his personal guard. |
