Top ISIS Mufti Killed in Iraqi Missile Strike

Alwaght-Iraqi forces have killed the Mufti or so called religious leader of ISIS terrorist group in Mosul amid intensified efforts to fully liberate the city from the Takfiri extremists.

Commander of Federal Police Forces Lieutenant General Raed Shaker Jawdat said on Friday that Abdullah Younis al-Badrani, also known as Abu Ayoub al-Attar, and two of his close henchmen were killed as security forces fired a barrage of missiles at a position of terrorists in western Mosul.

Jawdat identified one of the slain henchmen as Abdulqader Mahmoud al-Hamdouni al-Saji, noting that he was a member of the so-called ISIS oversight council for terrorist bases.

The high-ranking Iraqi security official further noted that federal police forces had fired a number of missiles into ISIS General Security Directorate building, and destroyed it.

The developments came a day after commander of Nineveh Liberation Operation, Lieutenant General Abdul Amir Yarallah, announced that soldiers from the 9th Armored Division had reclaimed the village of Halila and established control over an entrance into western Mosul.

Meanwhile, Iraq’s War Media Cell confirmed that on Thursday Iraqi forces heavily pounded ISIS headquarters in western Mosul whereas dozens of terrorists were killed or injured.

After launching a massive operation in February this year to liberate western neighborhoods of Mosul, Iraqi army announced last week that ISIS terrorists are now in control of less than 7% of the western half of the major city.

The Iraqi government announced late January it totally recaptured the eastern side of the city. Recapturing Mosul will effectively end Islamic State’s self-proclaimed “Caliphate”.
