The No. 2 figure in ISIS, Haji Mutazz, is believed to have been killed in an August 18 drone strike near Mosul, Iraq, several U.S. officials told CNN.

The U.S. intelligence community is in the final stages of confirming the man who died was Mutazz, a top deputy to ISIS leader Abu Bakr al-Bagdadi, the officials said.

The U.S. believes Mutazz was prominently involved in directing ISIS' financial operations.

The reported death of Mutazz, who also goes by several other names, is a bit of a mystery. Several news organizations, including CNN, reported his death at the end of last year, based on information from senior U.S. administration officials.

One official said it appears the United States had a wrong identification at that time.

The information about the drone strike this week is being very closely held by the government because of its sensitivity.

All ISIS terrorists are #2.

No. 3 should refuse promotion.

No. 3 said he’s going to retire to spend more time with the family.

They're like Al Qaeda, they have more #2's than an office supply store.

You tell that turd!

One worm dead. Thousands more to exterminate.

This must sadden Kalif Obama.

I wonder what he does to obstruct the process.

[Rennes Templar]

I know, he really didn’t expect these token strikes to actually work.

Haji Mutazz

My guess would have been "utility infielder for the Arizona Diamondbacks"

Then he has to act like he’s sad.

He’s good at lying to us kafirs when he’s sticking it to us. But he can’t hide his anger when he doesn’t get what he wants.

Haji Mutazz?
Wonder if Laz Mutazz knows him?

No, I don't want to be #1.
