from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Abu Ali al-Anbari ( Arabic أبو علي الأنباري, DMG Abū ʿAlī al-Anbārī ; * 20th century ; † December 12, 2015 in al-Ash , Syria ) was a leading member of the Islamic State terrorist militia . Anbari was also known by the name Adnan al-Sweidawi . He was Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi's deputy in Syria. He was probably born in Mosul in Iraq .

Career

During the reign of Saddam Hussein, al-Anbari held the rank of major general in the Iraqi army . After the regime was overthrown in 2003, he joined the Sunni resistance and fought against the US- led occupation forces and the Shiite- dominated new central government in Baghdad . This resistance included several former followers of Saddam Hussein, especially from the military sector.

Abu Ali al-Anbari and Baghdadi probably met in 2004 in the US prison camp Camp Bucca in Iraq. A total of 17 of the 25 most important leaders of the Islamic State were incarcerated in US prisons. Together with al-Baghdadi and Abu Muslim al-Turkmani , he formed the leadership of the Islamic State (IS). According to the organizational structure of IS, according to Spiegel Online and Die Welt, Anbari was subordinate to five governors for the Syrian provinces. Anbari was a member of the IS military council, which plans the campaigns. He was also responsible for ISIS espionage work.

Abu Ali al-Anbari was killed on December 12, 2015 along with 14 other ISIS members in an air strike by the Iraqi army in northeast Syria.
