Just days after the news hit that ISIS' main propaganda officer, Mohammad al-Adnani, one of the Islamic State's most prominent leaders, the second in command of Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, as well as the unofficial spokesman of the terrorist organization, was killed (with a scandal promptly erupting between the US and Russia over who had taken him out), the power vacuum that formed at the top of the Islamic State has been promptly filled, after former Tajik Special Forces colonel Gulmurod Khalimov became the top ISIS battlefield commander in Iraq, after defecting last year and swearing jihad against the West.
Gulmurod Khalimov
Khalimov is set to take the position vacated by Abu Omar al-Shishani, also known as Omar the Chechen, who was killed in the Iraqi city of Shirqat, south of Mosul. in early July and whom the Pentagon described as Islamic State's "minister of war."
What makes the ascent of Khalimov particularly embarrassing for the US is that The former paramilitary unit commander of the Tajikistan armed forces received his battlefield training from American advisors and even came to the United States on several occasions to receive special counterterrorism training through the US State Department’s Diplomatic Security/Anti-Terrorism Assistance program.
Then last year, Khalimov defected to ISIS where the Daesh forces in Iraq welcomed the new addition to their ranks with open arms especially since he was acquainted with US military and intelligence tactics. Subsequently, the American trained former Special Forces colonel Gulmurod Khalimov received a promotion within the terrorist organization, and has become the group's Iraqi battlefield commander just weeks after
ISIS refused to officially announce that Khalimov had been promoted to the top ranks of the terrorist organization out of concern that he would become a high-priority target of US led strikes in Iraq, but Iraq’s Al Sumaria news agency exposed the promotion through a source in Nineveh province.
The placement of Khalimov to lead the terror organization’s Iraqi forces is a bit unusual for the Islamic State, who normally maintain only "second and third ranking commanders who lead militants in [Nineveh] province," according to the Al Sumaria source. These Daesh militants tend to keep a low-profile to prevent being "detected and destroyed" by US Forces who remain in a support function in Iraq explained the source.
Khalimov's high profile defection has understandably been a concern for US officials for some time, with the US State Department labeling him a Specially Designated Global Terrorist under Executive Order 13224 on September 29, 2015 designed to prevent the transfer of currency to individuals known to hold leadership roles in terror organizations. The United Nations Security Council Resolutions and al-Qaeda Sanctions Committee further added Khalimov, who is also a fugitive wanted by the Government of Tajikstan, to its sanctions list in February 2016.
In any case, as has so often been the case in the recent past, a special ops military expert by the US, is now engaged in deadly combat wih his former teacher; further adding to the paradox, his weapons and supplies have also been provided by the US: an odd outcome which, as many have pointed out, benefits just one group: the shareholders of the US military-industrial complex, which always wins no matter who, or how many lives are lost.
obama can't tell the difference between a rebel fighter and ISIS.... Now we have the proof....

ISIS Created By CIA & Company to Draw Russia Into Syrian War to Bring Islamic Jihad to the MotherlandTerrible.
And this is why Russia is going to let go of all Hillary emails, because nuclear war is on the horizon.
Maybe even before the election. Two eclipses this month point to war, the solar eclipse at 9* Virgo triggers the
point in mutable signs that point to this war on terror. I saw that on 911 when people were holding up signs of
missing people and birth dates. I have been observing this for 15 yrs and it is spot on.
Is there going to be another 911 on 9-11?
I'll bet a Ten Tola bar that John McInsane has this fella on speed dial.
And Chris... take it easy on those mind altering substances mate. VC
And MDB... you're a weapons-grade dickhead...or the King of satirical comedy. Either way you need a chop to the throat.
"And Chris... take it easy on those mind altering substances mate."
I don't use, the whole society is stoned not me. Are you suggesting I start doing mind altering stuff to go back to sleep like everyone else?
lol
hi chris, as an aside , what do the stars say about planet X? thank you

well that work out well for military statistics since our boys killed over there can be listed as cases of fratricide. "Workplace Violence" was getting a little busy
The story about this guy actually surfaced about 15 months ago and was instrumental in the acceleration of my own personal preparation for global cataclysm. If the U.S. is stupid enough to contrive this situation then it's inevitable that we are going to war.
That's why this narrative of surprise is so dishonest. Since the US / CIA created ISIS, it's not at all unexpected that CIA trained personnel will be in the organization, and this "defection" was most likely engineered before his training was even delivered. US is complicit in the Chechen insurgency and is complicit in the Iraqi insurgency. All of it, European insurgency, Syrian insurgency, Russian, Iraqi, etc, will all end, when the US is publicly named, after all of the countries band together to 1, leave NATO and all alliances, and 2, stop using the dollar and reveal the true criminal across the globe.
..so how many lost Emails did he send to Hillary?
and.. he could have been Obama's son.
and.. and.. can’t that punk grow a real and respectable beard?
USA! USA! USA! Oh, wait...
errrr..."Omar the Chechen"...yeh, ok...

The unintended consequences always gets you. The next one is even worse the one before.

Good luck accomplishing that without blowing up in a full out world war.

Dude. Between you and me, k. I love your style.
Every down vote you get is a win in my book. As I write this, there are ten stupid mother fuckers rushing to punch your card.
Up and down voting is like honking one's horn. Better that the greasy stupid hoi polloi are in agreement and safe. Down voting, arguing against authority, raging at you, all are good things to me.
You are absolutely right. Climate change is the number one issue. Number two (speaking for myself) is how to keep California people out of the United States. Number three is that more work should be done to deport niggers.
It would be an honor to down vote you myself. But instead of down voting people I REPLY and unleash vitriol. On occasioan I up vote, never giving comment. An up vote is not easy to earn. Unless you are from California and have affirmative action beat into you.
I just wish you weren't so staid. Tell us how you really feel.
Everyone, MDB ain't my friend, doesn't need my comments, doesn't want any. But I bet, I just bet that he laughs at you stupid assholes every day. I do. It's my pleasure.
I do side with him on this issue. Climate change is more important than you. If everyone who down votes MDB would just quit breathing, climate change would not happen and MDB would disappear for lack of bait.
Oh, and as always, Fuck all y'AL
STFU MDB.
Your Statist, anti-liberty, anti-Capitalist anti-Western Civilization posts have lost all value.
They are not entertaining.
They are not informative.
They are not even controversial, as just a few minutes slumming through DU will prove.
So either learn to think critically and objectively, or shut up and take your brainwashed, asinine Statist propaganda elsewhere.
65 weeks on the 'hedge, and you still don't get it? Come on man, are you even trying?
He's not going to stop. They (probably just AI AL) pay him to do this shit. Either that, or this is the boy's twisted hobby. ... He might even be a bot, but in MDB's case, I think he's just hired to piss you off and siphon away energy.
What I have to say about all of the negative vapor MDB generates here is; .... Is your scroll button broken? .. Or do you get off on the fluster and the pucker?

It's just a bit.
Seriously, it's not that cryptic.
How do you people consider such stupid comments from MDB as satire or coming from a fake socialist? It's obvious that MDB is typical of those on the left who buy into the false narrative put out by the lamestream media and Soros. It's clear that MDB does not understand Islam or Sharia law nor how the whole Muslim middle east has been stirred up by the globalist to create a worldwide Jihad against the west which must be brought down to bring in their "New World Order".
Have you considered that Islamaphobia is cause by Muslims gunning down and bombing Americans? Muslims seem to be overtaking drug gangs when it comes to body counts on streets in America. Your link makes out Muslims as victims. Muslims do not have mental disorders and are not misunderstood. They don't understand American culture. They are violent perps not victims.
If you side with this foreign and intolerant culture, then you are defending the destruction of your own.
Hey, MDB.
Thanks for holding me a spot.

You're kidding .... right?
Totally blows my mind that these guys don't understand your classic sense of sarcasm. You should get a dollar for every reddie you earn.
That's Liam Neeson, now we are in big trouble
LOL.
Good looks, and macho.
Now, it will get more interesting by the day.
Couldn't be. Liame is a big anti-gunner. He would maybe encourage ISIS to stage sit-ins and hunger-strikes, but no violence.
Oh, wait. Silly me.
Liame is a liberal. Violence -- even gun-related violence -- is just fine if you are targeting anyone to your right.
LOL. Liam! Ha Ha!
Go twiddle your twat somewhere else.
That guy is fucking HAWT! Say it with me. Hawt fucking man in the desert over there gonna make a change!
So interesting.
Thank you for your comment. I think you are an asshole.
