The Pentagon said Friday that it had killed ISIS' finance minister, Abd al-Rahman Mustafa al-Qaduli, whom many analysts consider the group's No. 2 leader.

Those analysts believe al-Qaduli would have been expected to take control of the day-to-day running of ISIS, also called ISIL, if its leader, Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, was killed or incapacitated.
The U.S. operation was intended to capture him alive, a U.S. official told CNN. Helicopters loaded with special operations forces swooped in on a vehicle carrying al-Qaduli, but at the last moment something happened that caused them to decide to fire on the vehicle instead. The official would not say what it was that caused them to modify the plan.
Defense Secretary Ash Carter announced the death at a news conference Friday morning.
"We are systematically eliminating ISIL's cabinet," Carter said, adding it was "the second senior ISIL leader we've successfully targeted this month."

So ISIS had a government and ministries like normal countries ?!!

They claim to be a country so they are trying to have all mechanisms like all other countries. I wish that this killing could stop them, could stop their madness....

What if even Baghdadi would been killed? An another puppet will be leader

I agree with you that killing the leader will not end the existence of those groups. But it is still effective as it affects all the groups member in a negative way as if they get defeated

Do not wreck the game of wack a mole for us!

The current situation of drone attacks creating more ISIS is something that you think the Americans would have learned about in Vietnam.
Surely they have another agenda in play then propping up a group to take that group out later with a new group. Its a cycle that seems to be
creating more ISIS out of frustration.

They missed out on water boarding him to figure out the financial picture,that sucks.
