Abu Saleh

Muwaffaq Mustafa Mohammed al-Karmoush (1 February 1973 – November 2015), known by his kunya Abu Saleh al-Afri, was an Iraqi man and senior financier for the Islamic State.

According to the US Treasury, he "supervised ISIL's financial affairs, including salary payments.

[4] Col. Steve Warren of the US Army, formerly the American military spokesman in Baghdad, described him as "one of the most senior and experienced members of ISIL’s financial network" and "a legacy Al-Qaeda member".

[5][6] Col. Warren further called Abu Salah "one of the most senior and experienced members" of the militant group's financial network.

"Killing him and his predecessors exhausts the knowledge and talent needed to co-ordinate funding within the organisation," Col Warren said.
