Abu Yasser al-Issawi (Arabic: أبو ياسر العيساوي, romanized: Abū Yāsir al-ʿĪsāwī; born Jabbar Salman Saleh Ali Al-Issawi, Arabic: جابر سلمان صالح علي العيساوي,[1] 1978 – 28 January 2021)[2] was a senior ISIS commander and Iraqi terrorist with the title of deputy caliph, and leader of the ISIS group in Iraq. He was killed in a military strike by Iraqi security forces in Al-Chai Valley, southern Kirkuk.[3] The successful military strike and his death was announced by Iraqi Prime Minister Mustafa Al-Kadhimi after an intelligence-led operation.[4]
However, The New York Times reported that al-Issawi, who was 43 years old and originally from Fallujah, died from an American airstrike, days after the Baghdad bombings.[5]
