Head of Islamic State in Iraq eliminated

"The top commander of Islamic State (IS, formerly ISIS) in Iraq has been killed, Prime Minister Mohammed Shia al-Sudani announced.

The announcement confirms a statement on the killing of Jassim Al-Mazrouei, also known as Abu Abdul Qader, issued by the US Central Command (CENTCOM) late last week.
Al-Sudani highlighted that the “exceptional operation” was carried out by the country’s counter terrorism and national security services under the supervision of the Joint Operations Command (JOC) in the Hamrin Mountains in northeastern Iraq." RT
