The available information indicates that as of 2016, Abu Fatima was alive and part of the inner circle of Islamic State leader then-leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, was serving as his deputy in the position of the overall leader for Iraq.[4] He succeeded Abu Muslim al-Turkmani,[5] who was killed by a US drone strike near Mosul on 18 August 2015.[6][7] He was reported to have been killed later that year in Mosul, possibly during the Mosul Offensive launched around the same time.
