The Islamic State reported on Wednesday that its leader Abu Hasan al-Hashimi al-Qurashi had died in combat and named a replacement for him.
An audio recording from an ISIS official confirming confirmed the death of al-Qurashi ‘while fighting the enemies of God.”
The United States military’s Central Command said Abu Hasan al-Hashimi al-Qurashi had been killed in mid-October by The Free Syrian Army in Deraa.
The spokesman, Abu Omar al-Muhajer, named its new leader as Abu al-Hussein al-Husseini al-Qurashi. Not much is known about al-Muhajer, but the group called him an “old fighter” without giving further details.
