According to IRNA , citing the Rased news network, the Iraqi Counter-Terrorism Service announced today (Friday) that in an operation coordinated with the international coalition, Abdul Rahman Al-Halabi, one of the senior leaders of the ISIS terrorist group, was killed in Syria.
Al-Halabi served as the head of external operations and security for the ISIS terrorist group and was responsible for planning and overseeing the group’s so-called “remote provinces.”
According to this report, the criminal Al-Halabi was behind the bombing of the Islamic Republic of Iran’s embassy in Lebanon and attempts to carry out other terrorist operations in Europe and the United States.
On November 19, 2013, two Takfiri suicide bombers attacked the Iranian embassy in Beirut and blew themselves up in front of the embassy, killing 23 people, including Hojatoleslam and Muslimeen “Ebrahim Ansari”, the cultural advisor, and injuring 146 others.
At that time, the terrorist group known as “Abdullah Azzam”, a Takfiri group affiliated with Al-Qaeda, claimed responsibility for this criminal attack.
