The British Guardian newspaper, quoting intelligence sources, revealed that the new leader of the terrorist organization "ISIS" Abu Ibrahim al-Hashemi al-Qurashi is in fact one of the founders of the organization and one of the leading ideological theorists. His real name is Amir Muhammad Abd al-Rahman al-Mawla al-Salabi.

And the terrorist organization announced shortly after the killing of its leader Abu Bakr Al-Baghdadi in a US raid in Syria at the end of October, the selection of a new successor to Al-Baghdadi is Hashemi Al-Qurashi, but this name did not mean anything to many experts in the affairs of terrorist groups, to the point that some of them doubted that it could even be a fictitious figure, While a senior US official said of him, he is completely anonymous.

However, the Guardian newspaper on Monday quoted officials in two intelligence agencies, whom you did not name, that the new leader of ISIS was the master and he was a senior leader in the organization and one of his ideological theorists.

According to the newspaper, al-Mawla was born to an Iraqi Turkmen family in the town of Tal Afar, which makes him one of the few non-Arab leaders in the terrorist organization.

Al-Mawla, who graduated according to the same source from the University of Mosul, had the upper hand in the campaign of persecution launched by the organization against the Yazidi minority in Iraq in 2014.

For its part, the United States set aside in August 2019 a financial reward of up to five million dollars for any information leading it to Al-Mawla, who was still a leader in the terrorist organization, but he was nevertheless a potential successor to ISIS leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi.

According to the US government's "Rewards for Justice" website, Al-Mawla, who is also known as Haji Abdullah, was a religious researcher in the previous organization of ISIS, the Al-Qaeda Organization in Iraq, and rose steadily in the ranks to assume a major leadership role in "ISIS".

The website added that, as one of the largest ideologists in ISIS, Hajji Abdullah helped lead and justify the kidnapping, slaughter, and smuggling of the Yazidi religious minority in northwest Iraq, and is believed to oversee some of the group's global terrorist operations.
