A group official said that Hashimi, an Iraqi, was murdered “in the fight with enemies of God,” although he did not specify the time or the circumstances of his passing. The group’s new head, according to the group’s spokesperson in an audio message, is Abu al-Hussein al-Husseini al-Qurashi. The speaker gave no more information about the new commander but said he was a “veteran” terrorist and urged all IS supporters to declare their loyalty.
