JAKARTA - 50 soldiers in the United States special operations came suddenly to the city of Atmeh, northwest Syria, last February 3. The goal is to storm a house with the main target of someone who is in there.

Inside the house was hiding Abu al-Hassan al-Hashimi al-Qurayshi, one of the leaders of ISIS who had been wanted by the US.

US special forces came by helicopter. They immediately stormed the house.

Gunfire took place. For about 2 hours the sound of bullets continued to fire.

Quoted from Al Jazeera, Friday, March 11, there were 13 people who died in this incident.

ISIS has finally opened its voice in the US attack in Syria. They confirmed that Abu Ibrahim Al-Hashemi Al-Quraishi, along with his spokesman Abu Hamza Al-Quraishi, were killed in the attack.

But they have appointed Abu al-Hassan al-Hashimi al-Qurayshi as the successor to the baton of leadership.

US officials said Abu Ibrahim Al-hashemi Al-Quraish and his spokesman Abu Hamza Al-Quraish blew himself up along with members of his family when American troops stormed his hideout in the city of Atmeh.

"Abu Ibrahim al-Qurayshi and the official spokesman for the Islamic State group... Abu Hamza al-Qurayshi... were killed in recent days," the group's new spokesman, identified as Abu Omar al-Muhajer, said on Thursday.

Al-Muhajer also said ISIL had appointed a successor to the former leader, identified him as Abu al-Hassan al-Hashimi al-Qurayshi, and said the head of ISIL had chosen him as the next caliph.

There was no immediate information about the new leader and it was not known if he was Iraqi like his two predecessors, both of whom died in the rebel-held part of Syria.
