U s designates new isis leader global terrorist

On October 27, 2021, the United States Department of State designated Abu al-Hussein al-Husseini al-Qurayshi as the new leader of the Islamic State (ISIS) and added him to the list of Specially Designated Global Terrorists (SDGTs).

Abu al-Hussein al-Husseini al-Qurayshi, also known as Amir Muhammad Sa'id Abdal-Rahman al-Mawla, is a senior ISIS leader who has been involved in the group's operations in Iraq and Syria. He has been responsible for planning and executing attacks against civilians, including suicide bombings and other forms of terrorism.

The designation of al-Qurayshi as the new ISIS leader comes after the death of Abu Ibrahim al-Hashemi al-Qurayshi, who was killed in a US military operation in February 2022. Al-Qurayshi's designation as the new leader of ISIS is seen as a significant development in the ongoing efforts to counter the group's activities and prevent its resurgence.

The US Department of State has imposed sanctions on al-Qurayshi, which includes freezing any assets he may have in the United States and prohibiting US citizens from engaging in transactions with him. The designation also allows the US government to take further action against al-Qurayshi and his associates, including freezing their assets and prohibiting them from traveling to the United States.

The designation of al-Qurayshi as a SDGT is part of the US government's efforts to disrupt and dismantle ISIS's networks and prevent its resurgence. The US has been working closely with its international partners to counter ISIS's activities and has imposed sanctions on numerous individuals and entities associated with the group.
