1) The real identity of ISIS's new leader remains a mystery, and while there are contenders, I haven't seen many pay attention to one specific person, Abu Suleiman al-Nasser (Nu'man Mansour Salman Al-Zaidi), head of ISIS military council, former ISI "minister of war."
2) Also known as Al-Nasser l-Deen Allah Suleiman, he is one of the cofounder of modern day #ISIS, having replaced former "minister of war" Abu Hamza Al-Muhajir (Abu Ayyub Al-Misri), who was killed in 2010 alongside former leader Abu Omar Al-Baghdadi.
3) Just like the new leader, not much is known about Al-Nasser. He served a sentence in Bucca Prison, and operated heavily in #Anbar Province — the place the new leader is believed by some to be from.
4) It might coincidental Al-Nasser has led #ISIS’ military council at least since November 2014 (with his experience, the same title as minister of war), when the new spokesman referred to the new leader Al-Hashimi as having headed “war leadership.” Again, might be coincidental.
5) Furthermore, Al-Nasser was declared killed by Iraqi forces back in 2011 in Hit, #Anbar Province, but shortly thereafter ISI denied his death, and nothing since has been heard about Al-Nasser.
