ISIL Minister of War (Defense Minister), Omar al-Shishani (nom de guerre) a top ISIL commander is thought to have been "clinically dead" for several days, according to the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights. He was brought to the hospital in Raqqa, from Shaddadi where he was either killed or gravely injured. He is reported to not be able to breathe on his own and is being kept alive via a respirator "machines".
He was a key figure in ISIL gaining legitimacy in it's early stages. At a time when he was considered to be moderate in his views, he was trained by the U.S. as a member of the Georgian military. It is believed he became radicalized following the Chechnyian wars after attending a mosque "donated by KSA that "preached a kind of alien Wahhabi- style Islam". It is said that the teachings that came from this mosque caused division in the community by radicalizing the young members of the community. "American and Georgian intelligence estimates put that number at between 150 and 200 young men who have left the town to fight in Syria." His father and other family members still live in this community.

This seems very strange and may well be a deception plan CPT (Join to see). While it would be great if ISIL Minister of War (Defense Minister), Omar al-Shishani has been taken out of the picture, if he has I expect he has been replaced already.

LTC Stephen F. This is why I didn't comment on it when it was first reported that he was killed in an airstrike on Shaddadi. When this was widely reported there were also reports of his being moved to Raqqa for medical care. I'm sure he has been replaced and each and everyone of their leaders who is killed will be replaced until they either have no more resources or have no more members.

LTC Stephen F. Did you see this evening's news where the U.S. is confirming his death?

CPT (Join to see) - I didn't see it last night but I saw the following from CNN. To be honest I was waiting for DoD News to release the information.
One thing that bothers me about the CNN picture is the face of the man to his left is covered over. Why in the world would CNN try to hide an ISIS thugs face?

Good news if it's true. I'm not sure it will have a significant impact in the grand scheme of things, but it's still one less ISIS leader out there.
