Abu Muslim al-Turkmani, also known as Haji Mutaz and Abu Mutaz al-Qurashi, was blown up in an attack near Mosul on August 18, according to the White House.
Today Islamic State’s spokesman appeared to confirm his death.
In an audio recording posted on jihadist websites, Abu Mohamed al-Adnani said: “America is rejoicing over the killing of Abu Mutaz al-Qurashi and considers this a great victory.”
The White House said that Qurashi, also known as Fadhil Ahmad al-Hayali, died following a strike on a vehicle in the northern Iraqi city.
Turkmani was one of ISIS leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi’s inner circle.
The terrorist is a former general and military intelligence officer under Saddam Hussein who provided Islamic State fighters with training and direction.
