IS names Abu Ibrahim al-Quraishi as its new leader Last Updated : 01 Nov 2019 07:07:53 AM IST IS leader Abu Bakr Al-Baghdadi (file photo) The Islamic State terror organisation on Thursday named Abu Ibrahim al-Quraishi as its new leader after it confirmed the death of Abu Bak al-Baghdadi who was killed in a US raid in northern Syria.
A spokesperson for the terror organisation, Abu Hasan Al Mohager, was also killed, the group said in a voice message on Telegram, Efe news reported.
United States President Donald Trump announced that Baghdadi was killed in a military raid that took place on Sunday in Syria's Idlib province.
The message did not provide further details about the circumstances of their deaths.Addressing the United States, the spokesperson said: "Do not be thrilled with the death of Baghdadi. Do not forget the death you have suffered at his hands."
"Your destiny is controlled by a stupid elder who changes his mind overnight," the spokesperson added.
Baghdadi became one of the world's most-wanted terrorist leaders when he proclaimed the Islamic State terror organisation's so-called caliphate from a pulpit of the Great Mosque of al-Nuri in the Iraqi city of Mosul in 2014.
At that time, IS had conquered half of Syria and around a third of Iraq.
It had under its control not only the historic city of Mosul, where it filled a power vacuum left by an Iraqi army in retreat, but also Raqqa across the border in Syria.
Five years later, the so-called caliphate all but collapsed when US-backed Kurdish militias seized its last outpost in southeast Syria in March.
Baghdadi was a ruthless leader who oversaw the murder of thousands of civilians.
He was erroneously reported dead on several previous occasions.IANS Cairo For Latest Updates Please-
