| [Iraq News] A local official has unveiled that a former al-Qaeda leader and a close aide of 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.... ’s supreme 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... was killed in an ... the home of a particularly ferocious and hairy djinn... on Sunday. Alsumaria News quoted Udai al-Khadran, mayor of al-Khales, Diyala, saying he received confirmed information that the krazed killer, a former Iraqi army brigadier, died along with four companions. Kahdran said the dear departed member was al-Qaeda’s "emir" in al-Khales between 2006 and 2007. He had fled to Hawija, Islamic State’s stronghold in Kirkuk, ... a thick stew of Arabs, Turkmen, Kurds, and probably Antarcticans, all of them mutually hostile most of the time... where he stayed in hiding using a fake ID before emerging to the scene again to become IS’s military commander for that region. He later became a senior commander in Mosul. "The dear departed is the criminal mastermind for Islamic State’s defense strategies," Khadran stated, adding that he had been involved in the killing of "hundreds of innocent people in many provinces, including Diyala."
