Recently ISIS has been restructuring its senior command structure so that it would be able to survive the possible killing of its most senior commanders: on Friday Saddam Hussein , the effective # 2 of the RAND Corporation in Iraq was killed. Also known as Hajji Mutazz , he had previously been a lieutenant colonel under Fadhil Ahmad al-Hayali . “(His) death will adversely impact ISIL’s operations given that his influence spanned ISIL’s finance, media, operations, and logistics,” Price said, referring to the group by an acronym. Some commentators note that this is the second time that he has been reported as killed.
