According to U.S. National Security Council spokesman, Ned
Price, the second in command of ISIS leadership, Haji Mutazz, who also
goes by the name Fadhil Ahmad al-Hayali, was killed in an August 18th US
drone strike near Mosul, Iraq. The number two man, was said to be
traveling in a car with another ISIS member named Abu Abdullah when
their vehicle was hit.
Mutazz, who the US media falsely reported died in December 2014, was in
charge of ISIS operations in Iraq and was also believed to prominently
involved in directing ISIS' financial operations.
"Al-Hayali's death will adversely impact ISIL's operations given that
his influence spanned ISIL's finance, media, operations, and logistics,"
Price said
