Abu Muhammad al-Shimali

Tarad Mohammad al-Jarba (; 20 November 1979 – 8 September 2017), better known by his kunya Abu Muhammad al-Shimali , was an Iraqi-born citizen of Saudi Arabia and a senior leader of the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL).

History Abu Muhammad al-Shimali joined Al-Qaeda in Iraq in 2005, continuing his association with the group when it eventually evolved into and became ISIL.

According to The Telegraph he may have played a role in the November 2015 Paris attacks due to his position in managing the flow of fighters across the Syria–Turkey border.

On 8 September 2017, al-Shimali was killed during a Russian airstrike near Deir ez-Zor, Syria, along with Gulmurod Khalimov. The United States removed al-Shimali from their Rewards for Justice Program in 2022.
