Iraq says it has captured top ranking ISIS finance Islamic State group’s finance chief
CNNBaghdad, Iraq CNN — Iraqi forces captured Sami Jasim, the deputy of former ISIS leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, Iraq’s Prime Minister said in a statement on Monday. “While our heroes focused on securing the elections, their colleagues were conducting a complex external operation to capture Sami Jasim, who was in charge of Daesh finance, and a deputy of Abu Bakr Al-Baghdadi,” Al-Kadhimi said. Jasim, also known as “Abu Asya,” served as the financial supervisor of the terrorist group under Al-Baghdadi since 2015, according to Iraqi security expert Fadel Abu Regheef. However, in 2019, the US State Department’s “Rewards for Justice” program placed a $5 million bounty on Jasim and two other senior ISIS leaders, demonstrating that American authorities believed was still alive.
