Abu al-Hasan al-Hashimi al-Qurashi

Iraqi Islamic State leader (died 2022)

Abu al-Hasan al-Hashimi al-Qurashi (Arabic: أبو الحسن الهاشمي القرشي), born Nour Karim al-Mutni (نور كريم المطني;[4] died 15 October 2022[2]), was an Iraqi[7] terrorist and the third leader[note 1] of the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant. He was named as leader on 10 March 2022, in an audio message by the new spokesperson of ISIL, Abu Omar al-Muhajir, whose announcement came more than a month after the death of the previous leader Abu Ibrahim al-Hashimi al-Qurashi.[10][11] The message said that Abu al-Hasan was given a pledge of allegiance in response to the will of the former leader.[12]

On 26 May 2022, the Turkish government claimed that he was arrested in Istanbul.[13] Later, ISIL sources denied news reports of his arrest in the 347th issue of their weekly newsletter Al-Naba.[14]

On 30 November 2022, ISIL announced that Abu al-Hasan had been killed while fighting. The spokesman of ISIL, Abu Omar, confirmed the news that same day. The United States Central Command confirmed that Abu al-Hasan killed himself by triggering a bomb during an operation carried out by former Free Syrian Army rebels which had aligned with government forces in Daraa Governorate in mid-October.[2]

Abu al-Hussein al-Husseini al-Qurashi replaced him as the leader of ISIS.[3]
