i can tell you history in northern iraq when i was there in 2007 and 08 is he was one of the deputy amirs of mosul. and as you remember, anderson, mosul was spook central in terms of what was going on with isis and the evolution of al qaeda into isis at the time. he was captured in 2008 by joint special operations command, interrogated multiple times, and gave actually some false information back and forth, was imprisoned and then later released by the iraqi government. he then became al baghdadi s deputy and has watched al baghdadi until he was killed in 2019 and then took over. but he is a theological leader or was a theological leader within isis. he had a degree from the university of mosul. in sharia studies. so, he was a guy who took sort
the police are playing that down, though the chief did tell the juneau empire newspaper that that assault is one of the possibilities out there but it also could have been a fall or something else. the deputy mayor will take over his duties. she was a long-time friend of guess fisk, even taught his son in the sixth grade. we are devastated. he was a wonderful person and friend. from the calls i ve been seving, i m not the only one who has felt he s a wonderful person and good friend to juneau. reporter: a neighbor told us fisk was active and in good shape. he hiked and swam often. she said he had a great smile and was a great guy. randi kaye, cnn, new york. meanwhile, the u.s. ramping up the fight against isis. they re deploying a new unit to iraq to carry out raids on isis targets. is this a step towards a larger u.s. ground force?
multiple other islamic groups. ansar al sharia, al qaeda. they have taken some cities there. there seems to be an indicator there s a big presence in the town of serta. there s a lot of places are terrorists can operate. there s also a lot of terrorist organizations. the key point in north africa, libya being a part of that is al qaeda in the land of the maghreb, north africa, has been active forever several years now. again, it s a branding issue. isis wants to be part of the new brand in that area. the people in that area are saying we can use the branding and the messaging of isis in syria and iraq to start a new organization here. so you re going to see it s much like the bloods and the crypts. who are the toughest gangs in town and who s going to take the bigger name recognition. general mark hertling, thanks so much for the information.
idea that not every police case is a case of misconduct. i agree. my point is some are. the case in chicago is an example of that. they also paid an early $5 million. some of the cases are wrong, smell bad, why not just had outside intervention then we don t have anything to argue about. thank you for joining me. thank you for the conversation. join is on socialç media, #newdaycnn or facebook or twitter. listen to this one. the guy gets in the cab, asks the muslim driver about isis and then shoots him. why isn t this getting attention it would if it were the reverse in we ll take you through it. i have asthma.
relief and why they seek to come to the united states. you understand the concerns, deputy secretary and you re confident you can get it done in the safest way possible. appreciate you for being here on new day. thank you for having me. there s a lot of news to tell you about. let s get right to it. trump, more on top than ever. they say i have the most loyal people. now with a double digit lead at the top the republican field. it is the contest between rubio and senator ted cruz that s the one to watch here in the coming months. chibqgo s top cop fired. the illinois attorney general asking the department of justice to investigate the chicago police department. a police officer is only as effective as when he has the trust of those he serves. u.s. troops going to war. going after high-valued targets, leaders of isis, they ll be going on hostage rescue missions. it puts everybody on notice in syria. you don t know at night who will be coming in the window.
