Video - Angel Of Death: Meet ISIS’ Worst Nightmare the notorious Abu-Azrael. (Vocativ).
As ISIS battles a joint military assault by Iraqi forces and Iranian-backed militias for the city of Tikrit, Iraqis elsewhere have set their hopes on the burly shoulders of a man they’ve dubbed the Angel of Death.
Abu Azrael, as he is known, is purported to be a legendary commander of the Imam Ali Brigade, an Iranian proxy group fighting in Iraq.
He has become a cult figure with Iraqi social media users creating tribute Facebook pages to him and circulating images of Abu Azrael holding axes, waving swords, and abusing the corpses of ISIS fighters.
Although his real identify remains unclear, local reports claim he’s worked as a university lecturer and that he at one point won Iraq’s national tae kwon do championship.
