The latest ISIS-appointed governor of Mosul was killed in coalition airstrikes on
Thursday, according to Iraqi police.
Hassan Saeed Al-Jabouri,
also known as Abu Taluut, was killed 18 miles south of Mosul in the village of
Qayyara, according to Maj. Gen. Watheq Al-Hamdani, a senior regional Iraqi
police commander who is leading the government's efforts to retake Mosul from
ISIS.
Jabouri is the second
ISIS-appointed governor of Mosul killed
by airstrikes and had been in office for less than 25 days.
Earlier this month, U.S.
airstrikes killed one of his predecessors, Radwan Taleb Al-Hamdouni, according
to U.S. security officials.
