Abu Ali al-Anbari

Abd al-Rahman Mustafa al-Qaduli, better known as Abu Ali al-Anbari, (; born 1957/1959 - died 12 December 2015) was an Iraqi militant jihadist of the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant. He was the governor for territories held by the organization in both Iraq and Syria. He was thought to be the second-in-command (along with his counterpart Abu Muslim al-Turkmani (KIA) who held a similar position in Iraq). He was born to an ethnic Iraqi Turkmen family in the Nineveh Governorate of northern Iraq.

 Career 
He plays a political role of overseeing the local councils and acts as a kind of political envoy. His military role includes directing ISIL operations against both other Syrian rebels who oppose President Bashar al-Assad's government and also against the Syrian government itself.

In November 2015, The New York Times reported that al-Anbari had recently arrived in Libya by boat, where the group has established a powerful branch centered in the city of Sirte. On December 12, 2015 al-Anbari was killed in an airstrike by the Iraqi army.
