[ALMASDARNEWS] A Dutch 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....
 commander was reportedly killed in the al-Raqqa Governorate this past weekend, pro-opposition "Raqqa is Being Slaughtered Silently" claimed on Tuesday.

The ISIS commander, Salih Yahya Ghazali Yilmiz, was a Dutch citizen of Syrian descent before joining the Islamic State in 2013.

Yilmiz was reportedly killed on Saturday, January 28th when a U.S. Coalition warplane struck his quarters in near the al-Raqqa Governorate town of Tabaqa.

Prior to joining the Islamic State, Yilmiz was a soldier in the Royal Netherlands Army, serving for a short period before joining the terrorist group.

Yilmiz played an integral role in training Uyghur and British fighters in Syria before leading several Islamic State units in battle around al-Raqqa.
