National: After Baghdadi: what we know about the new ISIS leader

Analysts say that the terror group’s tradition of altering names as leaders adopt new roles means it may be months before we learn the true identity of the new ISIS leader

After an operation to locate and kill ISIS leader Abu Bakr Al Baghdadi ended with the so-called “caliph” blowing himself up in his heavily fortified safe house on October 26, the United States is faced with another elusive task of unmasking the terror group’s new leader.
