Iraqi Forces Kill ISIL Emir in Baghdad

The Iraqi forces killed a large number of militants of the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL) terrorist group in their countrywide operations, including the ISIL’s top commander in Baghdad.
The Iraqi security forces killed the Emir of ISIL’s caliphate, in Al-Moshahed district in the Northern parts of the capital city.

The ISIL calls its ringleaders in different districts as ’emir’.

Iraq is currently witnessing a wave of violence, which escalated after militants from the ISIL terrorist group took control of large swathes and key cities in the Northwestern parts of the country.

The Iraqi forces are pressing ahead with their fight against militants from the terrorist group who threatened to take the battle to Baghdad, but are now losing the grounds they gained in the early days of their raid on the Muslim state.

Iraqi Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki has said that the country’s security forces would fully confront the terrorists.
