عراق میں داعش کے عالمی تنظیم کا امیر اور خطرناک دہشت گرد الرفائی مشترکہ آپریشن میں ہلاک

Iraqi Prime Minister Mohammed Shia al-Sudani said on Friday that Iraqi security forces and the coalition fighting ISIS have killed Abdullah al-Rifai, also known as Abu Khadija, the leader of the Islamic State terrorist organization operating in Iraq and Syria. Abdullah al-Rifai was considered one of the most dangerous terrorists in Iraq and the world. The US military’s Central Command said al-Rifai was killed along with a colleague in an airstrike in Iraq’s western Anbar province on Thursday. He was the second-in-command of the global ISIS organization and was the emir of the Delegated Committee B. Centcom shared a video on X in a post that showed an airstrike on a moving target. As the emir of the most senior decision-making body in ISIS, Abu Khadija was responsible for planning, logistics and operations carried out by ISIS on a global scale and managed the finances of the group’s global organization. Iraqi forces identified one of the terrorists killed in the attack as Abdullah al-Rifai, a key ISIS commander. Both terrorists were wearing suicide vests, which prevented them from being captured alive. Iraqi security sources have identified al-Rifai through his DNA sample.
When he was arrested during a previous raid but escaped from US custody, US President Trump said that the fugitive ISIS leader was killed in Iraq today, ending his miserable life. US CENTCOM also confirmed on Saturday that his wife was arrested before Rifai’s death. It should be noted that Washington added Rifai to its list of the most dangerous global terrorists in 2023. It should be noted that the Iraqi army’s Popular Mobilization Forces defeated ISIS in late 2017, but the terrorist organization’s sleeper cells were present in rural areas that carry out covert attacks on the army and police. ISIS lost its last territory in Syria after 2019 but maintains a presence in the country’s vast desert, which is engaged in targeted killings, including attacks on the Alawites and Christian minorities, under the auspices of the Western-imposed regime in Damascus. About 2,500 US troops are in Iraq. There have been accusations of supporting ISIS, while the Iraqi people are pressuring the country’s prime minister to force the US military to leave the country. The US agreed with the Iraqi government in late September last year that its army would end its decade-long military mission in the federally administered areas of Iraq within a year and in the autonomous Kurdistan region by September 2026. On the other hand, the Foreign Minister of the regime, Asad al-Shaibani, who is supported by Western countries and Turkey, said on Friday that Damascus is ready to cooperate with Iraq in the fight against ISIS. It should be noted that Iraq had sealed the border with Syria after the capture of Damascus by armed groups. Shaibani has arrived in Baghdad to open the borders of the two countries.
