The ISIS commander as well as chief oil expert/financialist Abu Sayyaf was killed in a firefight during his resistance to the capture. It is identified that while Sayyaf is dead, his wife was captured and currently been held in Iraq. While the true identity of Sayyaf is not yet released, a close possibility is that the guy is Nabil Saddiq Abu Saleh al-Jabouri, a close associate of chief ISIS spokesman Abu Mohammed al-Adnani.The raid on ISIS ordered by the Persident, and was led by the Army's Delta Force. The force entered area using Black Hawk helicopters and V-22 aircraft, and engaged the ISIS whom were defending a multistoried building, and Abu Sayyaf was killed during the combat. Several hostages were rescued during the raid.
The event is a supposedly big blow to ISIS. On one hand, Abu Sayyaf is a major financier of ISIS as well as its oil specialist. His death eliminated oil from ISIS's revenue list. On the other hand, Abu Sayyaf, as a major financier of ISIS, supposed to hold an importat list of ISIS income sources. His death opens the way for US army to obtain this list and hence further restrict ISIS's fiancial income. The investigation for this list is still ongoing.
