decapitators and was paraded in their sick videos for his huge frame.

victims and dumping them in the same infamous hole in the region of
al-Khasafa.
Muhammad Yawar, an Iraqi journalist, told
ARA News:
'Abu Sayyaf was one of the scariest executioners in Nineveh. He was
known for his huge body and heavy arms. He was one of the renowned faces
in the ISIS propaganda videos.
'Abu Sayyaf was a reflection of the brutality of this terrorist group.'
There are varying reports of how he came to his death, with some news outlets stating he was shot by gunmen, but according to
Iraqi News,
