Biography
Abu Khattab al-Kurdi was a Kurdish-Arab Sunni Muslim, and he became a junior commander of the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levan (ISIS) on the frontier with Turkey during the Syrian Civil War. Abu Khattab was one of the commander of Kobani assault, a Kurdish stronghold on the Turkish border that was put under siege by ISIS in 2014. Although the ISIS troops were able to repel Kurdish forces, the United States and their allies launched drone strikes against ISIS fighting positions, vehicles, and oil refineries near Kobani to help the Kurds defend the town. 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 senior commanders Abu Ali al-Askari and Abu Mohammed al-Masri.
