Abu Khattab, known by the nom de guerre of Abu Khattab al-Kurdi (died 17 November 2014), was one of the commanders of Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant from Iraqi Kurdish origin. He was helping ISIL with other senior and assault commanders in the battle of siege of Kobani.[1] He was originally from the town of Halabja, in Iraqi Kurdistan near the Iranian border.[2][3]
Abu Khattab was one of the commander of Kobani assault, a Kurdish stronghold on the Turkish border that was put under siege by ISIL in 2014. Although the ISIL troops were able to repel Kurdish forces, the United States and their allies launched drone strikes against ISIL fighting positions, vehicles, and oil refineries near Kobani to help the Kurds defend the town.[4]
On 17 November 2014, Abu Khattab was killed in an ambush set up by Kurdish People's Protection Units (YPG) fighters in the town of Tell Bakr along with 28 other militants, including two senior commanders Abu Ali al-Askari and Abu Mohammed al-Masri. By 15 March, the siege of Kobani was over, leaving 741 Kurdish and 3,945+ ISIL militants dead.
