    The second-in-command of the Islamic State in Iraq and the Levant (ISIL) was killed during a U.S. air strike in Iraq earlier this week, the White House announced Friday, a development that was trumpeted by the Obama administration as dealing a blow to the group that has taken control of a wide territory in Syria and Iraq.

    "Fadhil Ahmad al-Hayali, also known as Hajji Mutazz ... was killed in a U.S. military air strike on August 18 while traveling in a vehicle near Mosul, Iraq, along with an ISIL media operative known as Abu Abdullah," White House spokesman Ned Price said in a statement.

    "Al-Hayali's death will adversely impact ISIL's operations given that his influence spanned ISIL's finance, media, operations, and logistics," Price said.

    The White House said al-Hayali was a "primary coordinator" for moving weapons, explosives, vehicles, and people between Iraq and Syria. He was in charge of operations in Iraq and helped plan the group's offensive in Mosul in June of last year.

    They've probably already promoted someone to "second-in-command"....

    Time to get his ass now.
