Head of Islamic State in Iraq and Syria killed, Iraqi PM says
Abdallah Maki Mosleh al-Rifai was killed by Iraqi intelligence members and US-led coalition forces, PM Mohammed Shia al-Sudani says
“The Iraqis continue their impressive victories over the forces of darkness and terrorism,” Prime Minister Mohammed Shia al-Sudani said in a statement posted on X, formerly known as Twitter.
Abdallah Maki Mosleh al-Rifai, or “Abu Khadija,” was “deputy caliph” of the militant group and “one of the most dangerous terrorists in Iraq and the world,” the statement said.
“PEACE THROUGH STRENGTH!” Trump posted.
A security official said the operation was carried out by an air strike in Anbar province, in western Iraq. A second official said the operation took place on Thursday night but that al-Rifai’s death was confirmed on Friday. They spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorised to comment publicly.
