Twenty Terrorist Leaders You Don’t Have To Worry About Anymore

#15 Abu Muhammad Adnani

Abu Muhammad Adnani, whose death was announced by the extremist group, was a chief architect of its war against the West.  He exhorted European-born fighters to commit attacks on the home ground rather than joining the fight in Syria and Iraq and pointed the way for those with no ties to the group to embrace “martyrdom” on its behalf.

Adnani was killed while overseeing Islamic State field operations in northern Syria.
