Abu Abdul Qader has been killed along with eight other senior IS leaders, according to the Iraqi prime minister<\/strong><\/p>\n

The top commander of Islamic State (IS, formerly ISIS) in Iraq has been killed, Prime Minister Mohammed Shia al-Sudani announced on Tuesday.<\/p>\n

The announcement confirms a statement on the killing of Jassim Al-Mazrouei, also known as Abu Abdul Qader, issued by the US Central Command (CENTCOM) late last week.<\/p>\n

In a post on X, the prime minister wrote, \u201cI congratulate our honorable people on the killing of the so-called (Wali of Iraq) in the terrorist organization IS, and (8) of the organization\u2019s senior leaders\u2026\u201d<\/em>\u00a0<\/p>\n

Al-Sudani highlighted that the \u201cexceptional operation\u201d<\/em> was carried out by the country\u2019s counter terrorism and national security services under the supervision of the Joint Operations Command (JOC) in the Hamrin Mountains in northeastern Iraq.<\/p>\n

The PM praised the security forces, stressing \u201cThere is no place for terrorists in Iraq. We will pursue them to their hideouts and eliminate them until the land of Iraq is cleansed of them and their heinous acts.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

The JOC said that the operation to eliminate the IS commanders was supported by technical assistance and intelligence from \u2018Global Coalition\u2019 forces.<\/p>\n

Iraqi forces intensified their operations against IS in 2024. In an interview with Bloomberg last month, al-Sudani claimed that the Middle Eastern nation no longer needs US troops on its territory, because \u201cIraq in 2024 is not the same as Iraq in 2014\u201d<\/em> and added that \u201cWe have moved on from wars to stability.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

US outlines Iraq \u2018withdrawal\u2019 plans<\/a><\/p>\n

In September, Iraq and the US issued a joint statement saying Washington would conclude the American-led international mission in Iraq over the next 12 months. The Pentagon, however, later clarified that while the US mission is changing, it will not constitute a full withdrawal.<\/p>\n

The US invaded Iraq in 2003 without UN sanction, claiming it possessed weapons of mass destruction \u2013 a claim later found to be false. The US \u2018shock and awe\u2019 bombing campaign devastated Iraq and toppled Saddam Hussein\u2019s government, leaving the country in chaos and creating fertile ground for extremist groups such as IS.<\/p>\n

Following the spread of IS across parts of Syria and Iraq in 2014, US troops returned to the country. Coalition military operations wrapped up in 2021, leaving approximately 2,500 American troops in place.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
