BALTIMORE, Maryland September 16, 2014 - The increasingly powerful and fully determined Kurdish Peshmerga Military has killed a top ISIS Commander in action near Kazir in Iraq, the Assyrian News Agency (AINA) reported today. The commander, Yasin Ali Suleiman Shlash known as Abu Abdullah, was killed Tuesday, AINA said.
The military action which resulted in the commander's death was coordinated around air strikes by USA Jets, the Peshmerga Spokesman told AINA. Other ISIS operatives were also killed, AINA reported.
AINA provided this history of Abu Abdullah: "Abu Abdullah was a senior military commander and a top ISIS official in the state (Wilayat) of Mosul. Abu Abdullah was the mastermind behind the 2007 explosion in front of the ministry of the interior in Erbil. The Kurdish Security Council described Abu Abdullah, also known as Abu Sumaya, as a native of Mosul, 39 years old and former Arabic language teacher in Mosul. In 2010 he was arrested by the American forces and later transferred to the jurisdiction of the Iraqi government, where he was set free during the infamous Abu Ghraib jailbreak in 2013 and fled to Syria where he joined the Islamic State group," read the statement. Abu Abdulla is said to have had strong ties with the former Al-Qaeda leader in Iraq Abu Musab al-Zarqawi. The security statement said that Abu Abdullah was in charge of IS's military operations in Nineveh and responsible for the abduction of many Yezidi women after the capture of Shingal last month."
