Abu al-Hassan al-Hashimi al-Qurayshi, leader of the Islamic State, was recently killed in battle, according to the terrorist group.
ISIS Spokesman Abu Omar al-Muhajer said the terrorist was killed “in combat with enemies of God” but did not disclose the timing or the circumstances of his death, according to the Agence France-Presse news agency.
Abu Hasan al-Hashimi al-Qurayshi was the third Islamic state leader to die in combat since its founder, Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, was killed in Idlib, Syria by U.S. troops in October 2019.
“He died fighting the enemies of God, killing some of them before being killed like a man on the battlefield,” the Islamic State spokesman said.
“We certainly welcome the news of the death of another ISIS leader,” National Security Council coordinator John Kirby told reporters Wednesday. “I don't have any additional operational details to provide at this time. We're still working our way through that.”
When pressed on whether the U.S. has been able to confirm what would be the second ISIS leader death in a year, he replied, “We welcome the announcement that another leader from ISIS is no longer walking the face of the earth.”
No one has claimed responsibility for the killing yet.
