Mohammed al-Adnani predominatly served Isis as Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi's right hand man. Baghdadi currently resides in head commander and public of Isis, while Adnani sat as wing man. Al-Adnani had been with Isis for a while. He started out as a young fighter and slowly moved up in the ranks with his impressive leadership skills. It is believed that he was the commander of lone wolf attacks North America, Australia, and Europe. Isis reported that he had been injured in and airstrike, and had died. "Without confirming al-Adnani's death, a senior Pentagon official confirmed that coalition forces conducted an airstrike Tuesday morning in al Bab, Syria, targeting an ISIS leader." At least American forces are not counting him as dead. Though ISIS claims that he has flown into the clouds with other fearless leaders, there still is skepticism. If this were a true event then it would be considered a win for coalition forces. Adnani could be considered more dangerous then Baghdadi because of his oversight of outside attacks. He helped conduct the attack on Paris, and could have easily of moved his attention to America. Even though the airstrike seemed to be focused toward Baghdadi, it still may have made an impact. The death of al-Adnani would be considered in greater or equal magnitude. With this, the pentagon is still assessing the results.
