US kills second ISIS spokesman in drone strike
2016-09-17
[RUDAW.NET] The US has announced on Friday that it killed 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 Allah around with every other sentence, but to hear the pols talk they're not really Moslems....
s’ (ISIS) chief front man, Wael Abdel Salman, in a drone strike, mere weeks after killing his predecessor, Mohammad al-Adnani, in a similar attack.

The Pentagon’s press secretary Peter Cook announced on Friday that the strike which killed Salman, also knonw as Abu Muhammad Furqan, took place on September 7.

Salman, Cook said, was one of the bully boy groups’ "most big shots," who was also "a close associate" of al-Adnani.

"He operated as the minister of information for the terror organization and was a prominent member of its Senior Shura Council ‐ ISIS’s [ISIS] leadership group," Cook added.

The Pentagon’s press secretary also said that Salman oversaw the production of ISIS’s infamous "terrorist propaganda videos showing torture and executions."

Cook also said that the continued targeting of members of the ISIS leadership is an effective strategy.

"The removal of ISIS’s big shots degrades its ability to retain territory, and its ability to plan, finance and direct attacks inside and outside the region," Cook said.
