IT IS unclear how Isis leader Abu Ibrahim al-Hashimi al-Quraishi died last week, but we do know that it has led to a renewed sense of US triumphalism and calls for its continued presence in Syria.
The official narrative as told by Washington is that he detonated a suicide vest that killed himself, his wife and his children.
Other sources put the death toll higher. The West’s favoured pseudo-humanitarian organisation the White Helmets, which is consistently linked to jihadist groups, said that 13 were killed, including six children and four women.
