Iraqi Taha Abdurrahim Abdullah, the closest executive of Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi and the person who named the organization ISIS',  confessed to his capturer Syrian Democratic Forces (QSD). Abdullah who was captured in Derezor, Baxoz on March 23 confessed many things from the relationship between Turkey and ISIS to the details of the Kobané attack.

According to ANF, Abdullah gave very important information about ISIS' attack to Kobané. Abdullah stating that the attack order was given by Baghdadi himself, said: "We were preparing for was but out target was damascus, not Kobané. Baghdadi told us to attack Kobané. We objected but he did not accept our objections. We lost a lot of men in Kobané. Later we learned that the reason Baghdadi changed our target overnight was that Erdoğan told him to attack Kobané.Then Abu Yasir Iraki, the commander of this war, was sent to Iraq to be silenced. He was the one that realized we were actually being ordered by Erdoğan. 

 

 

Abdullah Talha giving information about Baghdadi's successor Abdullah Qardaş (Haci Abdullah), said: "The reason Haci Abdullah was designated as the new leader of the organization is that he has strong relations with Turkey. One of his brothers is already living in Turkey and is a member of Iqaqi Turkem Front. Baghdadi had his affairs in order by designating Haci Abdullah as his successor. Haci Abdullah is also known as 'Ebu Omer Turkmeni'. He uses this name to appease the Turkish state and to deepen his relations with them."

 

 

Following the news about Baghdadi's death, Haci Abdullah said: "Baghdadi designated Haci Abdullah as his successor.The murder of Baghdadi won't change anyting in terms of re-organizing. Baghdadi had his affairs in order.and there are strong men to run it. They will not stop."
