To date, Saddam al-Jamal has been one of the highest-ranking commanders of the detained IS terrorist group. This name is considered the future leader, successor to boss IS Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi.
Saddam al-Jamal is known for his cruelty in handling IS prisoners.
Lebanese intelligence believes that this name was the mastermind behind the murder of pilot Muath al-Kasasbeh in 2015. Al-Kasasbeh is a pilot of the Royal Air Force of Jordan. His plane was shot down in Raqqa, Syria, in December 2014.
A few weeks later, the IS released a video of the 26-year-old pilot being burned alive in a cage. These images caused outrage around the world.
Al-Jamal has also been accused of committing many crimes such as committing the massacre of 700 members of an anti-IS rebel tribe in Deir Ezzor province, Syria in 2014.
Al-Jamal is believed to have ordered the children to be executed, even in front of their parents.
In 2014, Iranian officials said Al-Jamal had killed the entire family after his parents tried to stop their daughter from marrying him.
He was a commander in the Free Syrian Army (FSA) and later led the "harmonious" Hoi giao group Ahfab al-Rasoul.
Al-Jamal is one of four IS commanders trapped by Iranian security with fake messages on the Telegram app last week. Iraqi authorities used a mobile phone of Ismail al-Eithawi, which instructed four other commanders to travel from Syria to Iraq and were arrested.
Al-Eithawi, nicknamed Abu Zaid al- Iraq, was arrested by Turkish intelligence in February and handed over to Iraq. Eithawi is a direct confidant of Supreme Leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi. This person was responsible for transferring money to the bank accounts of the terrorist group in different countries.
In addition to al-Eithawi and Al-Jamal, the Syrian operation has summarized three other IS commanders, Mohamed al-Qadeer (a Syrian) and two Iraqis, Omar al-Karbouli and Essam al-Zawbai.
