The leader of Daesh in Iraq and Syria has been killed, Iraq&s prime minister said on Friday, describing him as &one of the most dangerous
terrorists in Iraq and the world.&Prime Minister Mohammed Shia al-Sudani said Abdallah Makki Muslih al-Rufay&i, also known as Abu Khadija,
had been killed by Iraqi security forces, with the support of the U.S.-led coalition fighting Daesh, Reuters reported.Former Daesh leader
Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi declared a caliphate over a quarter of Iraq and Syria in 2014 before he was killed in a raid by U.S
special forces in northwest Syria in 2019 as the group collapsed.The U.S
Central Command said last July that the group was been attempting to &reconstitute following several years of decreased capability.&The
command based its assessment on Daesh claims of mounting 153 attacks in Iraq and Syria in the first half of 2024, a rate that would put the
group &on pace to more than double the number of attacks& claimed the year before.The post Iraqi PM says Daesh leader for Iraq and Syria
