ISIS’ Mosul governor reportedly killed in airstrikes
2015-05-28
And another one bites the dust...
[Rudaw] 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 Allah around with every other sentence, but to hear the pols talk they're not really Moslems....
 governor of djinn-infested Mosul
... the home of a particularly ferocious and hairy djinn...
, Ibrahim Younis Hamdani, was killed in an American Arclight airstrike Wednesday according to the Iraqi Defense Ministry.

"Today, the ISIS governor was killed by US-led Arclight airstrikes in the Mosul neighborhood of Badoush in western Mosul," the ministry said in a statement. "Ibrahim Younis Hamdani was on the way to Badoush areas when the warplanes bombed his convoy."

Since the city of Mosul fell to ISIS, many of the group's governors have been killed by coalition warplanes.
I guess in the ISIS hierarchy, governors are Number Threes.
In early March, coalition fighter jets targeted the vehicle of Shakir al-Hamdani, the second ISIS governor of Mosul, killing him and a number of his bodyguards, Ismat Rajab, a Kurdistan Democratic Party official, told Rudaw.

Warplanes also killed Radhwan Hamoudi, aka Abu Laith, the first ISIS governor of Mosul, on November 19.
