    Ironic, AFRICOM says the airstrike was launched in coordination with the Government of National Accord (GNA) to target terrorists, but Trump and Haftar spoke by phone about the "ongoing counterterrorism efforts" – which is the name used by Haftar to describe the siege of GNA

    Second U.S. airstrike in Murzuq, deep south of Libya, in five days. This time "to eliminate terrorists" of the Islamic State and not "leaders" as in the first strike. Allegedly 11 killed

    Today Bellingcat publishes the first images of the Syrian M4000 chemical bomb, confirming its use in the March 30th 2017 Al-Lataminah Sarin attack, and confirming the debris from the April 4th 2017 Khan Sheikhoun attack matches a Syrian chemical bomb

    We don't know yet who was targeted this time. The mentioned Abu Muslim al Libi and Walid al Warfalli were leaders in Sirte, keeping a low profile after the fall of the city. Now the big names are Abu Mussab al Libi and Abu Barakat (organizing the sporadic raids here and there)

    Indeed, most recent U.S. airstrikes against the Islamic State in Libya were clearly targeting leaders. As you can see, Abu Muslim al Libi near Bani Walid in June 2018 (left) and Walid al Warfalli again near Bani Walid in August 2018 (right). Surveillance work pinpointing them

    On September 19 a U.S. airstrike killed eight Islamic State fighters near Murzuq, deep south of Libya. The AFRICOM press release says the strike was launched "to eliminate leaders". The Islamic State in Libya is sleeping since June 15, always uses the deep south to reorganize

    And I'd like to add this one, freshly arrived: the Wali of Wilayah Pakistan

    ISIS has named a former Karachi police constable Daud Mehsud the leader of its newly created Wilayah Pakistan. By with comment by and myself.

    Last but not least, Hajji Abdallah most certainly is Abu Abdullah al Hasani also known as Abdullah Qardash – who succeeded in spending years under the radar. Not much known about him except he is "very cruel". Unlike the other softies commanding the Islamic State

    I remember that I conflated him with another Haji Hamid, a leader operating in Anbar and killed there

    PT he is another "Haji Hamid", an Islamic State commander in Fallujah involved in Saqlawiyah siege and allegedly killed in May 2016

    Also, the leader in the middle was allegedly killed in a Kurdish / US SOF raid near al Qaim (very odd, far from Kurdish areas) in August 2016. Turns out he's alive and doing the same things. We should always treat a death announcement as false, unless we can cross-check

    His name was already mentioned on August 21 in the U.S. Department of State's Rewards for Justice Program, but his role as Wali of Iraq wasn't mentioned

    I noticed that "We know neither the identity nor the nom de guerre of the wali (governor) of Iraq, probably one of the most prestigious roles in the group’s chain of command". But on Sept 10 the US State Dept. posted this: "Hajji Taysir… as the ISIS Wali of Iraq"

    In June I wrote a brief recap about what we know of the central leadership of the Islamic State: very little, compared to a few years ago. Now we can fill in a few blanks

    Abu Bakr al Baghdadi speaking, again, less than five months after the video appearance.

    Al Furqan, top media house of the Islamic State, announcing a release soon. I'd be curious about something more substantial than a 30 minute-long speech by spokesman Abul Hasan al Muhajir. But most likely is that

    Second thing. They were lamenting the disappearance of both Abu Bakr al Baghdadi and Haji Abdullah, the deputy who managed to spend the years since 2010 almost totally under the radar. Confirms Abdullah’s top role.

    We’ve read about witnesses stating that Baghdadi was inside the siege until January, driving a red car and fighting for days against Tunisian rebels.

    Precious translation here, I notice two points. The Islamic State scholars and leaders confined in a narrow strip of land in late 2018 were lamenting the disappearance of Abu Bakr al Baghdadi, “maybe in another wilayah”. Means: already out of the siege

    My latest: translation & analysis of set of internal private letters of advice written to Islamic State leadership in 2018, criticising various policies such as Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi's absence from his followers & lack of appropriate consultation processes
