Abu Fatima al-Jaheishi explained
Ni'ma Abd Nayef al-Jabouri (Arabic: نعمة عبد نايف الجبوري), known by his nom de guerre Abu Fatima al-Jaheishi (Arabic: أبو فاطمة الجحيشي) or Abu Fatima al-Jiburi, was initially in charge of the ISIS operations in southern Iraq before he moved to the northern city of Kirkuk.[1] He then became Governor of the South and Central Euphrates region in the Islamic State and a senior member in the IS hierarchy.[2] [3]
The available information indicates that as of 2016, Abu Fatima was alive and part of the inner circle of Islamic State leader then-leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, was serving as his deputy in the position of the overall leader for Iraq.[4] He succeeded Abu Muslim al-Turkmani,[5] who was killed by a US drone strike near Mosul on 18 August 2015.[6] [7]
