Plusieurs chefs du groupe Etat islamique tués dans des frappes aériennes

 

18 décembre 2014 Romandie.com (AFP)

 

Washington - Plusieurs chefs du groupe Etat islamique (EI) en Irak ont été tués par des frappes aériennes de la coalition depuis la mi-novembre, portant un coup sérieux aux forces jihadistes, a indiqué jeudi le Pentagone.

 

Je peux confirmer que depuis mi-novembre des frappes ciblées de la coalition sont parvenues à tuer plusieurs hauts dirigeants et responsables de moindre niveau du groupe Etat islamique, a fait savoir dans un communiqué le contre-amiral John Kirby, porte-parole du Pentagone, sans fournir d'identités ni la localisation de ces frappes.

 

Nous pensons que la perte de ces dirigeants cruciaux va affecter la capacité de l'EI à commander et à contrôler ses opérations actuelles contre les forces de sécurité irakiennes, y compris les forces kurdes et autres troupes locales, a-t-il poursuivi.

 

Un responsable américain avait indiqué plus tôt sous couvert d'anonymat que plusieurs chefs de l'EI avaient été tués lors d'une série de frappes aériennes conduites ce mois-ci sur plusieurs jours.

 

Le chef de l'EI, Abou Bakr al-Baghdadi, ne fait pas partie des victimes, avait précisé ce responsable.

 

Mais, selon un second responsable américain parlant sous couvert d'anonymat, l'un des deux adjoints de Baghdadi a été tué lors de ces frappes.

 

Je peux confirmer que depuis mi-novembre, des frappes ciblées de la coalition ont permis de tuer Haji Moutazz et Adb al-Basset (Inad Allah Moulla Gaidh). Moutazz et Basset étaient considérés comme des dirigeants de haut niveau de l'Etat islamique, a indiqué ce responsable.

 

Haji Moutazz --Abou Muslim al-Tourkmani de son nom complet-- était considéré comme l'adjoint de Baghdadi en charge de l'Irak.

 

De plus, depuis mi-septembre, nous avons tué d'autres dirigeants subalternes de l'EI dont Radwin Talib Hamdoun, a ajouté le responsable.

 

Le général Martin Dempsey, plus haut gradé américain, avait indiqué jeudi dans un entretien au Wall Street Journal que plusieurs chefs importants de l'organisation islamiste avaient été tués par l'armée américaine.

 

Ce sont des cibles de grande importance, des hauts responsables, avait-il précisé.

 

Cette opération n'est pas négligeable, a souligné l'un des responsables s'exprimant sous couvert d'anonymat, et s'inscrit dans un effort plus large pour accentuer la pression sur les jihadistes, au moment où l'armée irakienne se prépare à une importante contre-offensive dans les mois à venir.

 

La coalition a intensifié son offensive contre les jihadistes de l'EI, notamment depuis le début de la semaine, avec plus de soixante raids aériens dans le nord de l'Irak.

 

Les soldats kurdes, grâce à l'appui massif de la coalition internationale, ont repris une centaine de kilomètres carrés aux jihadistes de l'EI près de Sinjar, au nord-ouest du pays, près de la frontière syrienne, a déclaré jeudi le général américain James Terry.
