Islamic State leader al-Quraishi killed, terrorist group announces – By Jerusalem Post & Reuters Staff (Jerusalem Post) / Nov 30, 2022
The militant group still plans to operate as normal.
Islamic State (IS) militant leader Abu al-Hassan al-Hashemi al-Quraishi was killed in fighting, its spokesman said in an audio message posted on an affiliated Telegram channel, another heavy blow to a group that once struck fear across the Middle East.
IS has selected Abu al-Hussein al-Husseini al-Quraishi to as its new leader, the spokesman added. He said Abu al-Hassan al-Hashemi al-Quraishi was killed while “fighting enemies of God”, without elaborating.
No details about the new IS leader were given in the audio.
The spokesman urged Islamic State members in all countries to pledge allegiance to the new leader, adding that “he is one of the loyal sons of the (Islamic) state”.
