| ISIS propaganda king killed | |
| 2017-01-07 | |
The US-based coalition killed senior group controller Mahmud al-Isawi in an air strike in the krazed killers' self-proclaimed capital. His death, on December 31, was confirmed by the US military command in the region today. CENTCOM identified the target as al-Isawi, an IS operative who managed instructions and finances for ISIS leaders and provided propaganda and intelligence support. He was the 16th significant member of the network's external operations killed last year. Before moving to Raqqa, the longtime ISIS member supported the group's media and intelligence operation in Fallujah. He also facilitated transregional travel with other operators, and had what CENTCOM dubbed a 'close working and personal relationship' with Abd al-Basit al-Iraqi, emir of the group's Middle East attack network. Al-Iraqi was killed in a coalition air strike on November 2. 'His death, combined with the recent successive deaths of other ISIS leaders plotting terrorist attacks, has degraded ISIS's trans-regional attack and facilitation network, and is forcing ISIS to increase their focus on internal security,' CENTCOM said. 'The coalition will continue to track and eliminate ISIS snuffies who plot and conduct attacks against coalition nations and our allies, wherever they are hiding.' | |
