The jihadists announce the appointment of Abu Hussein Al Husseini as the new leader, a figure about whom little information is known
The jihadist group Islamic State (IS) reported on Wednesday the “death in battle” of its leader, Abu Al Hasan Al Hashemi Al Quraishi, who had been in charge for only nine months. At the same time, the jihadists announced the appointment of Abu Hussein Al Husseini as the new leader, a figure little known about. Al Quraishi was killed during a US special forces operation in Idlib, northern Syria.
Since the death of the first caliph, Abu Baqer Al Baghdadi, none of his successors have spoken publicly. There is a huge silence at the top of an organization whose leaders have been shot down one after the other. Idlib, a province outside the control of the Damascus regime and under the tutelage of Ankara, has become the refuge of IS and its previous leader, Abu Ibrahim al Hashimi Al Quraishi, was also knocked out there, in the small town of Atmeh, on the border turkish Al Bagdadi himself was also located and killed in the same province, in his case in Barisha. IS exists in Idlib together with the Syrian branch of Al Qaeda, which is in control.
The blacklist of IS leaders eliminated by the United States began in Iraq with Washington’s founder and first black beast, Jordan Abu Musab Al Zarqawi, killed in a selective bombing raid in 2006. Since then, one after another has been located and killed .
At the beginning of the year, IS carried out several operations in Iraq and even stormed a prison to free its prisoners. A resurgence was feared, but the military operations returned them to the clandestineness in which they have remained since the loss of the caliphate they established in Syria and Iraq.
