It is now heading to carry out terrorist operations in the Sahel regions of Africa."

Important documents were obtained that strengthened the information about the so-called terrorist Wali of Iraq and Syria, Abdullah Mekki," he explained. He added, "After the operations were completed, there was a high-level field, intelligence, and information coordination, in addition to the significant role played by the Iraqi judiciary and a high-level coordination with Kurdistan Security, which was able to arrest five terrorists after Wali's death. This was in addition to the airdrop carried out by the Counterterrorism Service, which was able to arrest seven terrorists, including two women who served as a link between the terrorist Abdullah Mekki and other parties." "They also played a role as a source of logistical support and conveyed messages between the terrorist Abdullah Mekki and his followers," he concluded. Earlier, PM Muhammed S. Al-Sudani announced on Friday the elimination of the terrorist Abdallah Makki, the so-called Deputy Caliph. "The Iraqis continue their remarkable victories against the forces of darkness and terrorism. The heroes of the Iraqi National Intelligence Service, with support and coordination from the Joint Operations Command and the International Coalition forces, successfully eliminated the terrorist Abdallah Makki Muslih al-Rufay'i, known as (Abu Khadija)," said PM Al-Sudani in a statement on his official account on X - followed up by the Iraqi News Agency - INA. The statement also included, "He held the so-called position of (Deputy Caliph), in addition to serving as the so-called Wali of Iraq and Syria, head of the Authorized Committee, and overseer of external operations offices.
