BAGHDAD, Iraq, April 7 (NNN-NINA) – Iraqi security forces, on Saturday, killed a prominent Daesh leader, in the western province of Anbar, the provincial police chief said.
The Daesh leader, Sulaiman Ahmed Mudhein, was killed in an operation, carried out by a joint force from Anbar’s Operations Command and provincial police commandos, in a desert area near al-Razaza Lake, in the south-west of the provincial capital, Ramadi, located some 110 km west of Baghdad.
“The terrorist is the administrative leader of the group’s camps, in Anbar Province, and was responsible for many terrorist attacks in the province, in the past years,” Erzeij said.
Daesh militants are still active in the vast Anbar desert, which stretches to the borders with neighbouring countries of Syria, Jordan and Saudi Arabia, as many civilians have been kidnapped or killed by the extremist group recently.– NNN-NINA
